Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985), once a scandal-ridden muse, mysterious model, and eternal myth of the Surrealists, was one of the most idiosyncratic and far-sighted artists of her era, whose creative oeuvre-painting, sculpture, poetry, drawings, and design objects-represents an extremely significant contribution to the art of the 20th century.
