Tapestry
Man Ray's "Tapestry" is a lithograph with pochoir hand coloring from 1973, produced in a limited edition of 45 prints by the renowned Parisian workshop Atelier Jacomet. The work exemplifies Ray's continued experimentation with printmaking techniques in his later years, combining mechanical and manual processes to achieve rich chromatic effects on fine Japan paper. Measuring nearly 30 by 22 inches, this modestly sized but generously margined print reflects the artist's enduring interest in exploring the intersection of abstraction and representation through layered color and form.
