Hans Bellmer is renowned for his innovative contributions to Surrealism, notably his La Poupée series which explores themes of desire, sexuality, and the subconscious. This collection comprises ten posthumous prints made from Bellmer's original negatives by Roger Vulliez, with the agreement of the rights holders, who numbered and marked them with a dry stamp, along with wet stamps on the verso. These prints provide insight into Bellmer's surreal universe, reflecting the essence of his provocative imagery. – Photos mounted in edges to mats (a few loose), otherwise photos in excellent condition.
