Note du spécialiste

There is some dispute as to when Object To Be Destroyed was realized. The 1970 Italian catalogue (compiled with Man Ray) provides the date 1933, the year after Man Ray and Lee Miller parted. The French catalogue raisonné of the objects MAN RAY / Objets de mon affection (1983) dates the the work 1923-1930 indicating the addition of the Miller eye while the relationship was ongoing. The latter date is used here.

See lot 49 for additional notes on the collection from which this was acquired.
