Man Ray Objects of my Affection Exhibition Poster Trompe L'Oeuf MoMA, 1969

About the Item

The “objects” of American artist Man Ray’s affection were small, limited-edition sculptures. Although influenced by French artist Marcel Duchamp, Ray eschewed the Duchampian term readymade, preferring a lyrical title based on a popular song, “The object of my affection is to change your complexion from white to rosy red” (Rosalind Krauss in Man Ray: Objects of My Affection, 1985). Likely one of the last exhibitions of Martha Jackson's enduring career promoting modern art in New York. "Objects of My Affection" was an exhibition put together by the Gallery Europe in Paris in 1968 with Jackson in conjunction with the Museum of Modern Art New York bringing it to New York in 1969. This large print promotes the NY opening of the exhibition on Tuesday February 18, 1969. At the European exhibition, Parisian gallery owner Marcel Zerbib released multiples of Ray’s objects, which were conceived between 1917-1967 but had not yet been unveiled to the general public. 7 of the 14 items were purchased by Joseph H. Hirshhorn, founding donor of the Smithsonian's Hirshorn Musem and Sculpture Garden, a collector and close friend of the artist. The poster features Man Ray's "Trompe L'Oeuf" which was reproduced 10 times for sale via Zerbib.

  • Modern Northern European woodcut print Seven Sacraments '1935' by Edgard Tytgat
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    Tytgat's style can be described as a simplification of reality with an intended naivety. He derived his inspiration mainly from daily life and incorporated these experiences in his own dream world. For the present lot Tytgat was inspired by the traditional seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. Tytgat also references the Flemish tradition of visual representation of these sacraments that dates back all the way to age of Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden...
