Die Société Anonyme ist ein kleiner Rundgang durch die Geschichte der Moderne in Amerika. Gegründet wurde die Société Anonyme 1920 von Katherine S. Dreier.

Zitat: (…) In January 1920, Dreier, Duchamp, and Man Ray met in Dreier's apartment in New York City to found the Societe Anonyme, a society to promote modern art among the American public. Dreier had wanted to call the society "The Modern Ark," but Man Ray later claimed that he was the one to suggest the French phrase for "incorporated" instead. Dreier added the subtitle "Museum of Modern Art: 1920."
