Man Ray - Clin d'oeil - 1971

Man Ray Glance

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

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

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

A particularly noteworthy element is the presence of a dedication with Man Ray’s autograph signature, 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 no longer being intact, the combination of an extremely limited edition, the signature, and the iconographic quality maintain the catalog’s high historical and collectible value.

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