Oppenheim: Object: MoMA One on One Series

In 1936, invited by AndrÃ© Breton to contribute to an exhibition of Surrealist objects, Meret Oppenheim (1913â€“85) decided to act upon a cafÃ© 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, â€œEven this cup and saucer.â€ The resulting sculpture was â€œObject,â€ 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.
