L’ÉTOILE DE MER – 1928
Tirage argentique d'époque
Attribué, titré, daté et annotations au crayon au dos
Cataloguée en 2000 comme un photogramme extrait du court-métrage de Man Ray : « L’Étoile de Mer », cette photographie serait en réalité une création indépendante réalisée lors du tournage. Bien qu’extrêmement proche, le cadrage n’est pas identique à celui de la séquence filmée. Selon nos recherches, il n’existe aucune autre épreuve argentique de cette image.

Acquis directement auprès du photographe par Timothy Baum
Timothy Baum, New York

Exhibitions:
Man ray, Retrospective 1912 – 1976, MAMAC, Nice, 1997
