Between 1916 and 1917, Man Ray created a series of collages he called "Revolving Doors." He included the series in his third solo exhibition at the Daniel Gallery in New York, in 1919. The collages, whose geometric shapes combine machine-like and anthropomorphic forms, were framed and installed on a rotating pole that the viewer could spin. The original collages were destroyed, but he later reproduced them in this series of pochoirs, published by Éditions Surréalistes in Paris in 1926 and a subsequent edition in 1972 published by Luciano Anselmino. When Man Ray exhibited the Revolving Doors, he wrote labels to accompany each work. He later published the entire series in the Surrealist periodical Minotaure 7 (1935). The original, typewritten document is in the collection of the J.P. Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
