Lot Essay

The stamps on the verso of this photograph have been identified as M6 and M30 in Steven Manford’s book, Behind the photo: the stamps of Man Ray (2009). According to Manford, M6 is an early lifetime stamp used from 1930 to 1935 (p. 19) and M30 is a posthumous copyright stamp “numerous photographs sold by Juliet and from the Trust carry an ADAGP stamp” (p. 37).

Man Ray y prit plusieurs photographies, dont cette stèle.
