In 1932, Meret Oppenheim moved from Southern Germany and Switzerland to Paris, where she was invited by Arp and Giacometti to exhibit with the Surrealists at the Salon des Surindepéndants in 1933. She moved in the circle of Surrealists and in 1936 created the famous fur-covered teacup – Lunch in Fur – which became the epitome of surrealist work – and was also purchased by MoMA in New York.

Both in Paris and later in Bern, Oppenheim belonged to a lively art community, although she also changed focus along the way and at the end of the 1950s distanced herself from surrealism.
