Description acceptable. Henri Lefebvre’s The Missing Pieces notes how this artwork’s success caused a crisis for its artist, who made kitschy “souvenir” versions of it in the 1970s. Whitney Chadwick says this piece embodies a movement’s “oblique eroticism” and “alchemical transformation.” A 1937 MoMA exhibit by Alfred Barr featuring this piece brought crippling fame to its artist, who had shown it at Charles Ratton’s gallery. This piece was inspired by a collaboration on a partly brass bracelet with Elsa Schiaparelli and followed by trussed shoes titled My Nurse. This piece, which André Breton titled for Luncheon on the Grass and a Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (“ZAH-kur MAH-zock”) novella, grew out of its artist’s meeting with Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar at a café. For 10 points, material from a Chinese gazelle covers a saucer, spoon, and another item in what piece by Meret Oppenheim? ■END■
