Exquisite Dada: A Comprehensive Bibliography edited by Jörgen Schäfer (2005) runs to more than six hundred pages of fine print. This bibliography is the tenth and final volume of Crisis and the Arts: The History of Dada under the general editorship of Stephen C. Foster, inaugurated in 1996. The variable format of each volume makes it more useful to scholars than the general reader. The titles most useful for my account, often cited above, are Dada Triumphs! by Hanne Bergius and The Import of Nothing by Hubert van den Berg, along with The Eastern Dada Orbit edited by Gerald Janecek and Toshiharu Omuka and Dada and the Press edited by Harriet Watts.
The only history of Dada written for a general audience is Dada et les dadaïsmes by Marc Dachy (1994, expanded 2011). Dachy’s massive, abundantly illustrated Archives Dada/Chronique (2005) is also very useful. Most Dada histories focus on a particular locale. Recommended in English: Dada in Paris by Michel Sanouillet (2009), New York Dada 1915–23 by Francis M. Naumann (1994), and Generation Dada: The Berlin Avant-Garde and the First World War by Michael White (2013).
Biographies of leading Dadaists are plentiful and extensively cited in the preceding Notes. Translations of primary works vary in scope. Arp, Ball, Breton, Picabia, and van Doesburg are amply available in English, while Tzara and Schwitters are not so abundantly represented relative to the corpus of their writings. Little is available in translation by Hausmann, Baader, and Serner.
There are many catalogues of Dada exhibitions, but nothing can rival in scope and ingenuity the thousand-page Dada edited by Laurent Le Bon for the 2006 Centre Pompidou exhibit, arranged alphabetically in true Dada fashion so even the introduction doesn’t appear until page 512 under the letter I.
The most convenient resource for English readers is Dada edited by Rudolf Kuenzli (2006), a richly illustrated portfolio with copious translations of original Dada writings. The most convenient compendium of translations remains Robert Motherwell’s pioneering Dada Painters and Poets (1951), usefully supplemented by Dadas on Art edited by Lucy Lippard (1971), Richard Huelsenbeck’s Dada Almanac (1993), and The Dada Reader edited by Dawn Ades (2006), which consists solely of translations from Dada journals.
For Dada periodicals and books, an invaluable Internet resource is the International Dada Archive at the University of Iowa (www.lib.uiowa.edu/dada). Its “Digital Dada Library” includes high-resolution scans of more than thirty periodicals (mostly complete runs) and a hundred books. Of course, nearly all these documents are in languages other than English, but well worth looking at for their presentation. Another invaluable online repository is UbuWeb, an archive of visual and sound poetry, on which you can find recordings by many Dadaists as well as later renditions of Dada works.
