Quentin Bajac documents the ultimately unsuccessful efforts to keep Man Ray's studio, negatives, and prints largely intact and in one place. The Centre Pompidou now houses about 70 vintage prints, ...5,321 contact prints, and 12,304 negatives; the latter two form this book's nucleus. While acknowledging major gaps in the collection, Bajac emphasizes the largely ignored contact prints' and negatives' importance in evaluating Man Ray's creative process.
