Surreal Sparks: The Legacy of Meret Oppenheim
Special issue. SWITZERLAND–RUSSIA: ON THE CROSSROADS OF CULTURES
The great swiss artist, poet and thinker Meret Oppenheim would have celebrated her hundredth birthday on 6 october 2013. If this were not sufficient reason to bring out our collections and take another intense look at them after the major retrospective exhibition in 2006, today the question is - what status can her art claim against the background of recent artistic output from Switzerland?
