Méret Elisabeth Oppenheim was born on October 6, 1913 in Germany, yet grew up in Switzerland. She joined the Surrealists and began to create sculptures. Oppenheim’s sculptures embraced feminine domestic object, but with a twist. She would specifically underline how one household item can be used in an entirely different way or by adding other materials that usually do not belong to the item. For instance, her fur-covered cup is one of her famous sculptures. Oppenheim was one of the first female members in the Surrealists group and brought these sculptures to present different forms of an object.
