Influential American-born artist (1890–1976) who carved out an important niche in the history of modern art with his pioneering Dadaist works and his distinctive photographs and solarized photographic images dubbed “rayographs.” Original cardstock poster for an exhibition of Ray’s work at Cordier & Ekstrom, New York, October 5–30, 1965, signed and inscribed in brown felt tip, “à Poupard-Lieusson, Man Ray,” Ray whimsically tracing over the signature printed on the image. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Ray’s hand and bearing his return signature, “Man Ray,” on the flap. Tiny corner bends to poster, and light toning and wrinkling to top edge of envelope flap (lightly touching signature), otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
