Meret Oppenheim’s “Table with Bird’s Feet”
Posted: August 18, 2014
Category: Meret Oppenheim
On view at NMWA in 2014 in Meret Oppenheim: Tender Friendships, Table with Bird’s Feet is a Surrealist sculpture that blends an everyday object with the fantastical.
Surrealist sculpture and functional occasional table is shown from above at a high angle; the work features realistic cast bronze crane legs holding a round wooden, gold-plated tabletop.
