This is the desk of Juliet Man Ray, the former dancer, model and Hollywood hopeful Juliet Browner who married Man (they had met in an LA nightclub) in 1946 in a double wedding with Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. He was a Jewish boy from South Philly (ne Emanuel Radnitzky), she a Jewish girl from Brooklyn (she is pictured with the violin in the wood frame). On the desk you can see a gold cast of Man Ray's famous lips, a mini one of his irons, and other bibelots of his. I visited with Julie in Paris at their studio where she still lived on the Rue Ferou when I interviewed her for a PBS film about Picasso, she was every bit as theatrical as I had imagined and still carrying a torch for her husband who had died in 1976. They are buried together at the Montparnasse cemetery. Recently, the Gagosian exhibition of his work in San Francisco brought this all back to me.
