Meret Oppenheim's mastery of odd materials gave her art a real bite, writes Nicole Rudick Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition 30 October 2022-4 March Museum of Modern Art, New York Catalogue by Nina Zimmer, Natalie Dupecher, Anne Umland (eds.) ISBN 9781633451292 (hardback), $45 (Museum of Modern Art, New York) The work that opens 'Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition' is a small gouache depicting an androgynous figure in red standing on a balcony, hands crossed contemplatively on the railing. The third stop on a transatlantic tour (via the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Menil Collection), the Museum of Modern Art's iteration brings together some 200 works, from Oppenheim's juvenilia of the 1920s to her final works in the mid '80s. At Bern, Oppenheim positioned The Green Spectator (1959) - an enigmatic limewood monolith topped with a shaped copper 'head' inscribed with spiral petroglyphs - so that it blocked a passageway into an adjoining gallery but permitted a view on to the works there, all of which dated from the 1960s on, essentially creating a window to the future, but a future that can be reached only by obeying chronological time (that is, proceeding through the order of the galleries).
