Catalogue Note
Man Ray and Picabia were firm friends and occasional artistic collaborators, both leading exponents of the Dada movement, though somewhat separated by Surrealism, since Picabia was opposed to André Breton's leadership. Picabia was passionate about sports cars, and he incorporated a print of this photograph showing him behind the wheel of his Mercer sports car in his 1921 work La Veuve joyeuse (private collection).
