“Every notion is born along with its form,” said the Swiss-German artist Meret Oppenheim. “I make reality of ideas as they come into my head.” Curated by Josef Helfenstein, this exhibition highlights Oppenheim’s surreal, witty, and intellectually bold explorations of identity and myth. From her fur-lined teacup to rarely seen paintings, masks, and sculpture, Oppenheim’s fearless creativity shines. Works in the show date from the 1930s to the 1970s. —Carolina de Armas
