Color photolithograph on wove paper. Signed lower right and numbered lower left in pencil, also titled and signed in the plate. Published by Jean Petithory, Paris. Image: 35 x 89.5 cm (13.75 x 35.25 in.) Paper: 67 x 103 cm (26.4 x 40.5 in.) In very good condition, with a slight crease in the lower left corner of the margin. Literature: L. Anslemino, Man Ray opera grafica, n 15. À l’heure de l’observatoire – Les amoureux by Man Ray, created in 1970, is a color photolithograph that reimagines the surreal with poetic flair. The image presents a pair of floating red lips—modeled after the lips of Lee Miller—drifting across a dreamlike sky above a horizon. The composition merges desire and cosmic mysticism, recurring themes in Man Ray’s surrealist oeuvre. Measuring 35 x 89.5 cm within a larger sheet, the work is signed and numbered in pencil and was published by Jean Petithory, Paris. Its iconic imagery fuses the personal and the universal in a visually enigmatic gesture.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
