Meret Oppenheim
Curated by Martina Corgnati
On display there are about 320 works made towards the end of the 1920’s up to 1985: oils on paper, sculptures, objects, projects, as well as drawings, pastels, watercolours and multiples.
The set-up of the exhibition, chronologically ordered, portrays the idea of creating a series of paths dedicated to the different themes and subjects which Meret Oppenheim developed over time: portraits, deities, fairy tales and myths, holy animals, the sky and the clouds. The exhibition consists of a wide section of never seen before pieces, drawings and sketches (about a hundred), dedicated to fashion, accessories and design which highlights the very original creations by Meret. In addition a section of photographic and painted portraits has been created, made by other artists and friends of Meret Oppenheim, such as Man Ray, Max Emst, Leonor Fini and Marino Manni, who portray her in real life and art.
