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
