Man Ray, Portfolio
Taschen, with it's "Portfolio" series, provides an interesting alternative to traditionnal books. In a large 11x14" format, printed on heavier stock than their other books, Tashen offers 14 images than can be either enjoyed as a book or taken out of the binding and put up on a wall.
The quality of the reproductions is not perfect, since they are of course not photographic prints, but they offer tremendous value for the money.
This particular one presents images from Man Ray, whose images, such as the cello-woman (Violin d'Ingres), are so well known. It's interesting to see them in a larger size than the usual reproduction in a book.
And of course the cheapest way to start a photography museum in your living room !
