Man Ray. [Peintures, sculptures et objects.]

By Man Ray. London: Hanover Gallery, 1969.

This charming binder served as the exhibition catalog for Man Ray’s second show at the Hanover Gallery in London (April-May 1969). The exhibition featured mid-career painting and sculpture from the 1940s and 50s, with clear stylistic references to Man Ray’s peers, such as De Chirico, Picabia, and Kandinsky. The metal ring binder is polished aluminum, silk-screened in bright red. The yellow-bordered pages include an essay by Man Ray, 17 illustrations (7 in full color), and a checklist. Man Ray (Emmanuel Radnitzky, 1890-1976) was an American artist whose work contributed to the Dada and Surrealism movements.

Condition and Treatment: 

This metal three-ring binder houses an exhibition catalog of Man Ray's work. The edges of the covers are sharp. Conservators will remove the call number and barcode labels (if possible) and create a custom enclosure for this volume.
