Joella Bayer knew Ray most of his life having been introduced to the artist by her mother in Paris in the 1920s and then growing closer through her first husband the gallerist Julien Levy who frequently exhibited Ray. Ray portrayed or photographed Joella Bayer a number of times during his life most famously in this book where her solarized portrait appears as plate 47. Arranged in five thematic sections PHOTOGRAPHS includes laudatory essays and poems from Ray's surrealist contemporaries André Breton Paul Éluard Rrose Sélavy Marcel Duchamp and Tristan Tzara marking the divisions. Stated "Second Edition" as almost all copies are; in fact it is the second issue of the first edition mislabeled in an attempt "to generate demand where none existed by suggesting the edition had sold out. After replacing the title pages of these copies with one stating second edition the publisher returned them for sale" Roth 80.

Paris: Editions Surréalistes 1926. A fine copy of this legendary Surrealist publication. Between 1916 and 1917 the artist and photographer Man Ray created a series of collages he called "Revolving Doors." He included the series in his third solo exhibition at the Daniel Gallery in New York in 1919. The collages whose geometric shapes combine machine-like and anthropomorphic forms were framed and installed on a rotating pole that the viewer could spin. The original collages were destroyed but he later reproduced them in this series of pochoir prints published by Éditions Surréalistes in Paris. This publication represents an important contribution to avant-garde art and together with Jazz and the Prose du Transsibérien comprise the Holy Trinity of great pochoir books of the twentieth century. Complete sets in fine condition are extremely rare. One of 105 copies signed on the colophon by Man Ray. Reynolds 71. unknown books
