Hertogenbosch: Design Museum — Part II
Pursuing interest despite achieving undesired fame.
Last time, I visited the exhibition of the Radical Art movement of Austria in the Design Museum (Hertogenbosch: Design Museum- Part I). But, this time I visited the artistic work of Meret Oppenheim. The entire hall was illuminated with white lights and appeared very polished.
As compared to the other exhibition of the Radical art movement, the space felt quite open. This is because there was only a couple of partition wall in the entire hall. So, I wandered around the hall to gain more information about Meret Oppenheim. To achieve more clarity on the texts displayed on the wall, I spoke to the museum personnel.
Meret Oppenheim was a German-born artist who kept searching for artistic and personal independence at an early stage of life. Soon, she developed herself as a surreal artist. Later, she won international fame for the object (fur-covered cup and saucer) at the Exposition surrealiste d’objects. Thereafter, the museum of Modern Art in New York acquired the object which gave her a lot of worldwide fame.
