Note du spécialiste

Man Ray's Surrealist interpretation of a snow globe was instigated by the Galerie Surréaliste in Paris who invited artists to create interpretations of the conventional souvenir. 

The present lot, created in 1970, is a resin recreation of the glass Boule sans neige from circa 1930 that contained wax crayons and a drawing of Lee Miller's eye, but due to its fragile structure the object disintegrated shortly after completion.
