36-403: A conversation in a Paris cafe, is the most frequently-cited example of sculpture in the surrealist movement. It is also noteworthy as a work with challenging themes of femininity.

54-412: A former director at Tate Modern , writes of the sculpture: The sexual connotations of Object (Le Déjeuner en Fourrure) are obvious: drinking from the furry cup is an explicit sexual reference. But there is much more to it than a saucy joke. The image of a fur-lined cup and spoon would not be out of place in the first chapter of any book about anxiety nightmares, in which any pretense of being in control

72-430: A number of " souvenirs " of Le Déjeuner en fourrure . One of the women Surrealists , Oppenheim in this work combines the domesticity of the tea set (part of the traditionally feminine decorative arts ) with the eroticism and animality of the fur covering.

144-506: Is subverted by sinister happenings. In this instance, a cup and spoon has grown hair, turning objects from which one should derive relaxation and pleasure into something aggressive, unpleasant and faintly disgusting. It has connotations of bourgeoise guilt: for wasting time gossiping in cafés and mistreating beautiful animals (the fur is from a Chinese gazelle). It is also an object designed to engender madness. Two incompatible materials have been brought together to create one troubling vessel. Fur

162-625: The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, whose visitors selected it as "the quintessential Surrealist object." Barr afterwards purchased it for the museum, where it remains in the permanent collection. The enormous success of this early work would create later problems for Oppenheim as an artist, and soon after its creation she drifted away from the Surrealists.
