Dennis A. Oppenheim Furniture

Meret Oppenheim is famous for her work as a Surrealist artist. One of her best-known pieces is Object, an enduringly disconcerting fur-covered teacup, saucer and spoon that Oppenheim created in 1936. The story goes, it was born of a lunchtime chat that Oppenheim had with Pablo Picasso and his then-muse, artist Dora Maar. The Spanish-born artist admired an unusual fur-lined bracelet Oppenheim wore, and she replied that anything could be covered with fur, “even this cup and saucer!” Her imagination fired, and Oppenheim bought some china and a swatch of Chinese gazelle fur. When it was exhibited in New York, Object was purchased by the Museum of Modern Art. It was the first work of art by a woman acquired by the institution.
