Man Ray was a central figure of Dada and Surrealism, whose photography pushed the medium toward experimentation and abstraction. Through techniques such as solarization and his cameraless “rayographs,” he explored chance, transformation, and the interplay between object and image, redefining photography as a creative and conceptual practice. The present lot comprises later prints of some of his most important photographs.
