Oppenheim: Object

Oppenheim: Object

Carolyn Lanchner
4.5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In 1936, invited by Andre Breton to contribute to an exhibition of Surrealist objects, Meret Oppenheim decided to act upon a cafe conversation she had recently had with Pablo Picasso and his then companion Dora Maar. Commenting on a fur-covered bracelet that Oppenheim had made for the designer Schiaparelli, Picasso remarked that one could cover just about anything in fur, to which Oppenheim had responded, -Even this cup and saucer.- The resulting sculpture was -Object, - a teacup, saucer and spoon purchased from a department store and lined with Chinese gazelle fur.
In this volume of the MoMA One on One series, an essay by Carolyn Lanchner, a former curator of painting and sculpture at MoMA, explores the subversive nature of this sensual yet disturbing work.
