More information

Man Ray utförde den första version av "Abat Jour" 1919, vilket han senare beskrev: "I slept until noon, then went out. There was some rubbish in the vestibule with a broken lampshade on top I carefully removed the paper, took it back to the room and hung it up at one end. It formed a pleasing spiral. This would be one of my exhibits in the new museum - my contribution as a sculptor."

Auktionens exemplar utgavs av Daniel Spoerris Edition MAT 1964.
