Man Ray Retrospective at Fondazione Magnani-Rocca: Over 300 Works in 'Man Ray: tutto'

From September 12 to December 13, the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca in Parma will host 'Man Ray: tutto,' a comprehensive exhibition featuring over 300 pieces by Man Ray, organized by Walter Guadagnini, Mauro Carrera, and Stefano Roffi. Notable highlights include Le Violon d’Ingres (1924) and portraits of Lee Miller and Nusch Éluard. Man Ray, who was born in Philadelphia in 1890, relocated to Paris in 1921, where he became involved with Dada and Surrealism, collaborating with artists such as Marcel Duchamp. The exhibition showcases his rayographs, solarizations, and readymades like Cadeau (1921), alongside his contributions to cinema and design, including Palettable (1941/1971). The accompanying catalogue is published by Dario Cimorelli Editore and situates his work within the permanent collection while engaging with current discussions on originality and reproducibility.
