Permanent Attraction: Man Ray & Chess

Dada & Surrealist Chess Art
Authorised by The Man Ray Trust, Permanent Attraction: Man Ray & Chess, is the first and only book on Man Ray’s chess-themed works in all media. With experience in studio art, chess, photography, cartography, prototyping and scholarly research, the author offers a comprehensive interpretation of when, how, and why Man Ray created these timeless works.

Man Ray’s chess set designs are as sought after as his innovative photography, collected by everyone from the Maharajah of Indore to Igor Stravinsky, Artie Shaw and David Bowie. Today, Man Ray’s chess-themed works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago, Centre Georges Pompidou, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and numerous other institutions, as well as being highly prized by private collectors the world over.
