A Near Fine tight copy with discreet remainder dot in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. In 1920s Paris, Kiki de Montparnasse captivated as a nightclub performer, sold out gallery showings of her paintings, starred in Surrealist films, and shared drinks and ideas with the likes of Jean Cocteau and Marcel Duchamp. Her best-selling memoir-featuring an introduction by Ernest Hemingway-made front-page news in France and was immediately banned in America. Charting Kiki and Man Ray's volatile relationship, award-winning historian Mark Braude illuminates for the first time Kiki s seminal influence not only on Man Ray s art, but on the culture of 1920s Paris and beyond. As provocative and magnetically irresistible as Kiki herself, Kiki Man Ray is the story of an exceptional life that will challenge ideas about artists and muses-and the lines separating the two.
