“One of the completely forgotten names–but a name well-known among the literati of the 1920’s–is that of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874-1927). This enigmatic, gender-bending artist, a friend and collaborator of Duchamp, Man Ray and Djuna Barnes, is considered by art historians to be the first New York Dadaist.”
