Oppenheim, Object

Oppenheim supposedly created this work of art after a meeting in a cafe with Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar.

It insists that we imagine what sipping warm tea from this cup feels like, how the bristles would feel upon our lips.

The work of art had a positive effect on the artist's early career.

It was created at a moment when sculpted objects and assemblages had become prominent features of Surrealist art.
