Evidence

Claiming the mantle of Berlin Dada (whose primary spokesman Dr. Richard Huelsenbeck was alive, well, and a practicing psychoanalyst living in New York), Black Mask provided a theoretical cover for an international tendency that included the No!art group, Destruction artists, the Viennese Actionists, and the more confrontational members of Fluxus—not that they necessarily wanted it. — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 933
