Man Ray
Cadeau
1972
This iconic readymade sculpture transforms a domestic iron into a paradoxical object by affixing a row of copper nails to its flat surface, rendering it useless for its intended purpose. Part of Man Ray's influential series of "object poems," *Cadeau* exemplifies his Dadaist approach to challenging functionality and meaning through unexpected material juxtapositions.
