Description
Artist: Man Ray (American, 1890 - 1976).
Title: "Photomontage with Nude and Studio Light".
Medium: Original vintage photogravure.
Date: Composed 1933. Printed 1934.
Dimensions: Image size: 11 1/16 x 8 7/16 in. (281 x 214 mm).
Lot Note(s): Stamped with the photographer's name, verso. Edition unknown, presumed small. High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; affixed to very thin and supple archival acid-free support sheet, not mount/board. Comment(s): Very rare. According to "Gordon's Photography Prices" the only auction record for a silver print of this image is $410,500 realized at Sotheby's, New York, 4/6/2011, lot #92. "Man Ray used separate negatives of a nude torso and a photographer's lamp to create this dreamscape. Shadows and reflections make the subject of the work ambiguous: the light bulb in the center could be a doorknob or a crystal ball. The piece is particularly successful in creating the illusion of three-dimensionality on flat paper." (Courtesy: Getty Museum).
