Marius de Zayas Mexican

Not on view

In 1910, when this drawing is thought to have been made, de Zayas had his second exhibition at 291, titled "Up and Down Fifth Avenue." De Zayas positioned nearly one hundred cutout figures mounted to cardboard in an elaborate tableau that featured celebrities from the art world, politics, theater, and the society page, walking or riding in buses and taxis outside the Plaza Hotel. The installation was wildly popular and remained on view for almost seven months.
