Revolving Doors.

£30,000 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

The complete portfolio of 10 pochoir prints, signed by the artist on the justification. Man Ray created a series of collages of geometric shapes titled 'Revolving Doors' between 1916 and 1917. They were included in his third solo show at the Daniel Gallery in New York and were installed on a rotating pole that the viewer could spin, bringing the machine-like anthropomorphic forms to life. The original collages were destroyed, but he later reproduced them in this series of pochoirs, also including the explicative text which originally accompanied each work. Limited edition, one of 100 copies on Velin d'Arches, signed and numbered by the artist on the justification; large folio (63.5 x 45 cm); title-page, justification and table of contents, 10 pochoir prints in colour after Man Ray, loose as issued and unbound in plain wrappers, minor spotting to wrapper; in the original black cloth solander box with 'Man Ray' on the spine, some minor wear to box otherwise a fine example.
