16 Jan 2026 - 3 May 2026
Exhibition
In honour of the fiftieth anniversary of Man Ray's death, the Beelden aan Zee museum presents a personal tribute to his unrivalled artistry. Central to this exhibition is Herma (1975), a bronze sculpture from the museum's own collection, which embodies Man Ray's timeless and groundbreaking vision.
Man Ray's work is exhibited alongside a selection of his short films, giving visitors a unique insight into Man Ray's versatility and imagination as both a sculptor and filmmaker. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth and depth of Man Ray's artistic legacy and to be moved once again by his revolutionary view of art and film. Man Ray (Philadelphia, 1890 – Paris, 1976), born Emmanuel Radnitzky, was a groundbreaking artist whose innovative spirit was expressed in a rich variety of materials and experimental techniques.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Man Ray established his name as a pioneering photographer and filmmaker, while his artistic home base in Paris brought him into contact with influential avant-gardists such as Marcel Duchamp.
