About the Exhibition

This exhibition is the first major exhibition to examine the radical experimentation of American artist Man Ray (1890–1976) through one of his most significant bodies of work, the rayograph. The exhibition features 160 rayographs, paintings, objects, prints, drawings, films, and photographs and is the first—more than a century since he introduced the rayograph—to situate this signature accomplishment in relation to his larger artistic output.

Stephanie D'Alessandro and Stephen C.
