MAN RAY

‘Alphabet pour adultes’

£3,000

A rare, limited edition copy of MAN RAY's Alphabet for Adults, published by Copley Galleries, Beverly Hills, December 1948. This edition is limited to 500 copies. The book (in quarto format, 29 x 22.5 cm) contains Man Ray's famous surrealist take on the alphabet.

I am captivated by the direct emotional charge of this provenance. It connects the artwork not just to the artist, but to his most intimate circle—his wife, Juliet. This book is a unique Mementos & Curiosities item, allowing a collector to own a tangible link to the inner life and humour of one of Surrealism’s most influential figures. We celebrate its blend of Dadaist wit and literary form.
