註釋The title of this exhibition is a direct response to the title Man Ray gave to his show at the Copley Galleries in Beverly Hills, California, in 1948, which he called "To Be Continued Unnoticed." Man Ray must have wanted these words to let his audience know that he was still working ("continued"), but that he worked with virtually no recognition ("unnoticed"). The present exhibition - held 68 years after his show at the Copley Galleries- is intended to demonstrate that Man Ray's work not only continues to be of interest, but that it is still noticed and, with the passage of time, better understood and appreciated (although the latter may never have been his intent). he was a thinker who employed whatever means were necessary to best express an idea, whether that be through drawing, painting, combining objects, or, in select circumstances, even photography. It was for this reason that Man Ray included earlier paintings in his Copley Galleries show, from a sketch made for a mural in 1912 (now lost), to works produced in New York and Ridgefield in the years immediately preceding his move to Paris in 1921, a formative phase in his career that, in retrospect, he realized was crucial to an understanding of his subsequent development as an artist. Exhibition: Francis M. Naumann Fine Art Gallery, NYC, USA (23.09.-18.11.2016).
