This is the first retrospective exhibition demonstrating the influence of Man Ray’s work on the world of fashion.
More than 140 works are on display. They have been provided by museums and private collections from Europe and America but the bulk of the exhibits come from the two most important Man Ray collections – The Many Ray Trust and the collection of Lucine Treillard, assistant of the artist during his last years.
Original photographs in black and white and colour photographs: “Rayogrpahs”, some of his famous portraits, works from surrealist magazine, works from Harper’s Bazaar (including the page compiled by Brodovitch with the first Rayograph “Fashions by Radio”, Rayographs from Paris to New York, an image featured on the invitation for this exhibition), Vogue, Vanity Fair, VU and for the fashion houses of Chanel, Poiret, Sciapparelli and Worth.
