Auction To Include Photographs, Paintings, Drawings, Objects, Films and Jewellery
Sotheby’s is honoured to announce the sale of 400 works presented in nearly 300 lots by Dada and Surrealist icon Man Ray on November 15, 2014 in Paris. The collection, property of the Man Ray Trust, includes works in all media: Photographs, Paintings,
Drawings, Objects, Jewellery, Chess and Film. This will be the very last opportunity to acquire works by Man Ray coming directly from the studio of the artist, the artist’s estate. Following the first sale of works by Man Ray, coming from the studio of the artist held at Sotheby’s London in 1995*, the auction will be the largest and most important sale of works by the ground-breaking artist in nearly 20 years.
As observed by Andrew Strauss*, Vice-president of Sotheby’s France and leading authority on Man Ray: “Today’s auction presents a selection of the remaining significant works from the artist’s estate, many of which have never been seen previously. This is likely the very last estate of a Dada or Surrealist artist to come directly to auction, nearly 40 years after the Man Ray’s death. The extraordinary diversity of subjects and innovative concepts expressed by experimentation and his skilful mastery of techniques reveals how Man Ray truly was a multi-media artist”.
Simone Klein, Head of Sotheby’s European Photographs Department commented: “The photographs from the Man Ray collection are like a time-capsule, reflecting the era and the creativity of one of the most prolific artists of the twentieth century. This incredibly varied ensemble groups together vintage prints of some of Man Ray’s most emblematic images as well as some of his least known works, ranging from Surrealist compositions to portraits of contemporary personalities, also including hitherto unseen landscapes of France and the United States. This sale will be a unique opportunity to acquire photographs with attractive estimates and the most perfect provenance: coming from the artist himself”.
