Informative on-line sites and many real exhibits:

There are some marvelous shows planned to commemorate the anniversary of the 1913 Amory Show and some equally wonderful on-line resources to help the modern day fans of the famous exhibit navigate and understand this landmark event.

The University of Virginia’s site is of particular interest. It recreates the exhibit’s 18 galleries on-line complete with catalog, extensive documentation of works exhibited, a critical commentary and much more. It’s a real gem – find it at:
