The recto carries a black-and-white photographic image: face, hand, obstruction, gaze. The verso reduces the exhibition to script, dates, address, and gallery placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBellmer’s work moved through Surrealism by way of the constructed body, the doll, the erotic fragment, and the image as psychological apparatus. By the early 1980s, his photographic practice was being re-entered into circulation through exhibitions, catalogues, and specialist gallery contexts in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLess commonly encountered than the related exhibition catalogue, the invitation survives as a lighter administrative fragment from the same exhibition structure.
