Sku: AE1047Artist: Man RayTitle: LipsYear: 1966Signed: NoMedium: Offset LithographPaper Size: 21.25 x 36.75 inches ( 54 x 93 cm )Image Size: 14 x 36.75 inches ( 36 x 93 cm )Edition Size: UnknownFramed: No: Inquire with our experts for framing suggestions.Condition: C: Several Signs of use and handling, some visible marksSupplemental Condition Information: Light moisture damage along top edge, resulting in some crinkling. Light abrasion to the ink along the top edge and upper right hand corner. Small tear in middle of lower edge. Light discoloration around edges of white section due to oxidation. Additional Details: First-edition exhibition poster designed by Man Ray for his 1966 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Known as Lips, the composition features the artist’s celebrated image of a pair of red lips floating above a landscape, drawn from his painting À l’heure de l’observatoire—Les Amoureux (Observatory Time—The Lovers, 1932–1934). The dramatic shift in scale transforms a familiar human feature into an enigmatic, dreamlike presence. Suspended between portraiture and landscape, the image reflects Man Ray’s Surrealist approach: ordinary forms become unexpected and evocative through changes in context and proportion. The red lips provide a striking focal point against the subdued background, giving the poster a visual presence that extends beyond its original role as an exhibition announcement. Produced for the exhibition opening on October 25, 1966, this poster connects one of Man Ray’s most recognizable compositions with an important presentation of his work in Los Angeles. This impression is unsigned and unnumbered. An undetermined number of posters were signed for the event.
