Bonsoir, Man Ray

BOURGEADE, Pierre. Bonsoir, Man Ray. Paris: Belfond, 1972. First edition. In-8°, original publisher's wrappers. COPY WITH IMPORTANT AUTOGRAPHED INSCRIPTION BY MAN RAY to Milena Milani, Italian avant-garde writer and artist, dated 'Paris 28-5-72'. The volume documents conversations between the author and the American surrealist master in his final Parisian years. Milena Milani, a prominent figure in twentieth-century Italian culture, was connected to contemporary art and spatialism circles. The combination of an autographed inscription by Man Ray — increasingly rare on the market — addressed to a notable cultural personality, confers on this copy a documentary and collectible value considerably superior to ordinary copies. Good condition with normal patina of time.
