In 1954, François Dufrêne introduced Yves Klein to Raymond Hains in front of the Dôme, on Montparnasse Boulevard. In 1955, the story “Flagrant-Dali” broke in the newspaper “Combat”. In the previous year, the French book club had published a new work entitled “The secret life of Salvador Dali”. A double spread at the start and at the end of the publication featured a reproduction of "The Hand Multiplied by a Play of Mirrors”, a hypnagogic photograph by Raymond Hains from 1947.
