Dreier, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Henry Hudson and Andrew McLaren, listing members (including Duchamp, Man Ray, Marsden Hartley, Joseph Stella et al.), detailing exhibitions, lectures, publications and by-laws, as well as reproducing various works of modern art. "It was because the vital modern movements in art were being pushed to the wall, that this lover of modern art felt the need of establishing a small art center, beginning in New York, that would act as a leaven in the art world of America" (from the introduction).
