Domesticated Egg is a playful sculpture created out of found objects—the wooden egg, for example, was typically used for darning socks. Man Ray described Domesticated Egg, as “no more improbable than the preserved egg, but admittedly less edible” (quoted in Man Ray, exh. cat., Julien Levy Gallery, New York, 1945).
