Description:

Swiss artist Oppenheim was pigeonholed as a Surrealist after the sensation of her 1936 "Breakfast in Fur," which depicted a fur-lined teacup. Then 23 years old, she went on to a career of eccentric eclecticism until her death in 1985. This selection of her art, with accompanying essays, includes absurd sculptures and surreal drawings. It covers the early years, when she was close to the Surrealists (she posed for Man Ray), and spans the 18-year gap during which she destroyed almost all of her work in a crisis of confidence.
