简介
Over the course of the past hundred years or so, as sculpture has increasingly
come to signify objecthood as much as carved or modeled form, Meret Oppenheim
(1913-1985) stands out retrospectively as one of the twentieth century's most
influential artists. Oppenheim has also long been an icon to feminist artists
and art historians, in her self-transformation from "muse" of Man Ray to
leading Surrealist, and her fearless insistence on her right to creativity
throughout her life. Her fur teacup, titled "Breakfast in Fur" (1936) was
inspired by a conversation between Oppenheim and Picasso at a Paris café;
admiring a fur-covered bracelet she was wearing, Picasso remarked that one
could cover anything with fur, to which she replied, "Even this cup and
saucer." Today this work, the definitive Surrealist Object, seems to
articulate and inaugurate a whole tradition of its own, in a psychosexual-
sculptural vocabulary that has been developed by artists such as Louise
Bourgeois and Eva Hesse. Oppenheim's oeuvre, ranging freely across sculpture,
painting, design and poetry, shows preoccupations not only with gender-
inflected objects and gender roles, but also with Surrealism's enduring
concerns-dream, myth, imagination, games. Published for the centenary of her
birth, this generous retrospective illuminates Oppenheim's work in all genres,
tracing its influence on later generations of artists and exploring her
importance as a precursor of feminism.
