Man Ray’s Earrings (1890-1976). These 18-karat gold “Pendantif-Pendant” earrings are by Man Ray, one of Surrealism’s greatest voices.
The movement started in 1920 saw boundary-breaking artists like Ray work across disciplines and in collaboration with each other.
Most well known for his photography, Ray created jewelry with Italian company Gem Montebello in the 1960s, with each piece produced in an edition of 12, as is inscribed in this pair, circa 1968.
French actress Catherine Deneuve wore one of the editions in a Man Ray photoshoot in 1966.

Elsa Schiaparelli with Salvador Dalí | ‘The Skeleton Dress’ | c. 1938⠀
——⠀
To many contemporaries the sinister black skeleton evening dress with its padded representations of human bones was an outrage - an offence against good taste. Although otherwise in elegant harmony with the prevailing lines of late 1930s evening wear, the skeleton dress is so constricted that it became a second skin and the imitation anatomy sat defiantly proud of the fine matt silk surface. Schiaparelli exaggerated the usually delicate trapunto quilting technique to make enormous ‘bones’ - the design was stitched in outline through two layers of fabric, then cotton wadding inserted through the back to bring the design into relief on the front. The shoulder seams and right side are closed by bold plastic zips. (Via @vamuseum Museum No. T.394&A-1974)⠀
