Details
Description
Inscribed first edition of the definitive contemporary collection of Man Ray’s photographs.
With 101 gravure reproductions of photographs and "rayographs" and essays by his contemporaries, leading figures of the Dada and Surrealist movements of Paris and New York, including Breton, Eluard, Duchamp (written in German under the pseudonym "Rrose Sélavy") and Tristan Tzara. With large inscription on the verso of the front wrapper, "Man Ray / Paris — Jan 1959."
A work almost always encountered in its second issue with the fictitious statement "Deuxième édition" on the title, an attempt "to generate demand where none existed by suggesting the edition had sold out...Copies with the original title page are exceedingly rare." (Roth)
Beneath Man Ray's inscription is a gift inscription to Judy and Julius Rosenwald II. "Dooley," as he was known, was the son of the celebrated collector Lessing Rosenwald and the grandson of Julius Rosenwald, part owner of Sears Roebuck.
