===Later life=== Man Ray returned to Paris in 1951, and settled with Juliet into a studio at 2 bis rue Férou near the [[Jardin du Luxembourg]], where he continued his creative practice across mediums.<ref>Neil Baldwin, Man Ray: American Artist, p. 278</ref> During the last quarter century of his life, he returned to a number of his iconic earlier works, recreating them in new form. He also directed the production of limited-edition replicas of several of his objects, working first with Marcel Zerbib and later [[Arturo Schwarz]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Traub |first=Alex |date=July 23, 2021 |title=Arturo Schwarz, Refugee Who Became a Surrealism Tycoon, Dies at 97 |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/23/arts/arturo-schwarz-dead.html |access-date=April 13, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> In 1963, he published his autobiography, ''Self-Portrait'' (republished in 1999).<ref name="auto"/> [[File:Man Ray - Tombe - Cimetière du Montparnasse.jpg|thumb|right|Grave of Juliet and Man Ray in Paris.]] Ray continued to work on new paintings, photographs, collages and art objects<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theartstory.org/artist/ray-man/|title=Man Ray|access-date=August 19, 2022}}</ref> until his death from a lung infection, in Paris, on November 18, 1976. He was interred in the [[Montparnasse Cemetery|Cimetière du Montparnasse]] in Paris,<ref>Wilson, Scott.

Kindle Edition.</ref> his epitaph reads "Unconcerned, but not indifferent". When Juliet died in 1991, she was interred in the same tomb. Her epitaph reads "Together again". Juliet organized a trust for Ray's work and donated much of his work to museums. Her plans to restore the studio as a public museum proved too expensive; such was the structure's disrepair. Most of its contents were stored at the [[Centre Pompidou]] museum.<ref name="Juliet's obituary"/>
