Artist Man Ray's iconic surrealist photograph titled 'Le Violon d'Ingres,' depicting a nude woman with f-shaped violin markings on her back, is bound for the auction block, with Christie's setting a record asking price of $5million.
The 1924 masterpiece, which is widely considered to be Man Ray's most famous work, will be sold to the highest bidder in May, alongside other artworks, photographs, jewelry and posters, which comprised a noteworthy Surrealist collection amassed over the decades by Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs, a wealthy Manhattan couple who both worked in fashion.
If 'Le Violon d'Ingres' fetches its asking price or higher, it will be the most expensive photo ever sold at auction. The current record is held by Andreas Gursky’s Rheine II, which was sold by Christie's for an eye-popping $4.3million in 2011.
