Man Ray - Clin d'oeil - 1971

Man Ray Wink

Rare art catalog from 1971 dedicated to Man Ray, published on the occasion of a exhibition and curated by Giuliano Martano for the Il Fauno and Martano galleries in Turin. It is a highly interesting collectible edition belonging to the limited head edition consisting of only 40 copies numbered from 1 to 40, a feature that makes it an extremely rare and sought-after piece in the 20th-century art and photography market.

The volume presents a black hardcover with a label affixed and the layout typical of gallery catalogs of the time, with texts printed in blue on cream-colored paper and a selection of black-and-white images and photographs.

The interior pages are detached from the body of the book, but they are present and complete. The photographs inside are in impeccable condition, perfectly preserved and intact, an element of great importance for this type of artistic publication.

A particularly notable element is the presence of a dedication with Man Ray’s autograph, a detail that significantly increases the collectible interest and the value of the work, making it an even rarer and more desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of surrealist photography.

Despite the volume’s structure not being fully intact, the combination of an extremely limited edition, autograph, and iconographic quality maintains the catalog’s high historical and collectible value.

An work destined for collectors of modern art, authorial photography, and original exhibition materials related to Man Ray.
