Many exhibitions have been held in the vast spaces of U.S.
National Guard armories, but the Armory Show refers to the "International Exhibition of Modern Art" that opened in
New York City's
69th Regiment Armory, on Lexington Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets, on
February 17,
1913, ran to
March 15, and became a legendary watershed date in the history of
American art, introducing astonished New Yorkers, accustomed to
realistic art, to
modern art. The show served as a catalyst for American artists, who became more independent and created their own "
artistic language".
