'Cadeau' Sculpture by Man Ray
About the Item
A sculpture by Man Ray titled 'Cadeau' in the shape of an iron with a row of nails protruding. Signed and inscribed with the edition number 2290/5000. In the original box, and certificate.
"In 'Cadeau' Man Ray takes a seemingly benign flat-iron and with a menacing row of nails, transforms it into something at once familiar and threatening. In expressing the conflicting subconscious desires to sooth and harm, Man Ray anticipates Surrealism.
First created in 1921 at the height of Paris Dada, the sculpture’s title, ‘Cadeau’ (French for ‘gift’) adds the characteristically Dadaist maniacal, nihilistic edge. Man Ray gifted composer Eric Satie with the original version and although that specific piece was lost, it has been immortalized through Man Ray’s photograph of it.'
A highly recognizable, provoking example of the artist's trademark assemblages.
Published by famous Italian Surrealist dealer Luciano Anselmo.
