Although recorded in Man Ray Rayographies by Emmanuelle de l'Ecotais, the location of this original rayograph was unknown. It comes from the collection of Laura and Lewis Kruger, New York collectors who championed and befriended some of the most influential international artists of the 20th century, including Man Ray. Lewis (1935 – 2024), a longtime senior managing partner at the law firm Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, served as Man Ray’s personal attorney. The couple maintained a decades-long friendship with the artist, and it is believed this rayograph was acquired directly from Man Ray.
