{"product_id":"meret-oppenheim","title":"Meret Oppenheim","description":"Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) is one of the most recognized twentieth-century  artists: an almost legendary figure able to stand out on a mainly male-dominated  Surrealist art scene while developing her own highly personal artistic practice. This  catalogue presents her entire career, from the 1930s to her late works. It thus reveals  the intense personal and creative network of relationships she nurtured with her older  and often already famous peers during her time in Paris: Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp,  Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Hans Arp and others are also documented in this  publication through some of their most significant works.  What emerges, above all, is the extent to which the artist influenced, thanks to her  personality and allure, the Surrealist vocabulary in which objects turn into fetishes,  oneiric and erotic fantasies intermingle, and women are seen as innocent or evil,  enveloped in mysterious nature.     After the war, Meret Oppenheim conducted her investigations - ranging from  figurativism to abstraction, from assemblage to painting - while eluding all attempts  at categorization. Her creative freedom and the extraordinary evocative power of her  works have made her a key figure for many generations of artists, as can be seen here  through parallels with creations by Daniel Spoerri, Birgit Jürgenssen, Robert Gober  and Mona Hatoum.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664687042596,"sku":"9788857235394","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857235394.jpg?v=1778097934","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/meret-oppenheim","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
