Specialist Notes
The Témoin by Man Ray is a product of the collaboration with Dino Gavina for the historic collection Ultramobile in 1971. It's an iconic seat/sculpture that merges surrealism and functional design, it's enriched by hand-painted details.
The enigmatic eye becomes a seat if flipped
The actual conditions of the lot differ sensibly from the ones in the catalogue photos because the original upholstery is gradually flaking in various positions, resulting evident and visually distracting. Clients are encouraged to ask for the condition report.
