专家说明

The present image depicts sections of two Villarceau circles, a mathematical proof from 1891. This form is the result of dividing two three-dimensional circles at an angle. In his painting, titled Measure for Measure, Man Ray created the illusion of the form’s negative space, above and below (Man Ray Human Equations, p. 201).

As with Lot 127, the present lot is mounted on black board and was exhibited in the 1936 Fantastic Art Dada Surrealism exhibition at Museum of Modern Art, New York. Both lot 127 and this print were loaned directly from the artist.
