Vogue’s online archives are one of many electronic resources available for use from the library’s computers

Katherine Dreier, Marcel Duchamp’s friend and collaborator and the one who lent the Large Glass to MOMA, where the photo was taken, wrote a letter to the museum’s director of Painting and Sculpture, James Johnson Sweeney, expressing shock and dismay at the museum’s misuse of Duchamp’s work. 

Dreier said, “One cannot blame Vogue for they run true to form, but one can only be amazed and shocked that you should advise your Trustees to so flippant and devastating a presentation of important works of art in the collection and loans of the Museum for Commerical purposes…But apparently the desire for notoriety preceeds [sic] any reverence for art.”
