Description
Delve into the dreamlike relationship between Surrealism and design in this century-spanning celebration of surrealist objects of desire.
The exhibition covers nearly 100 years, and close to 350 objects are on display.
For the first time in a major UK exhibition, Surrealism’s relationship to the design world will be told up to the present day. Artworks and objects from Man Ray, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp and Leonora Carrington will be seen alongside pieces by Sarah Lucas, Björk, Tim Walker and Dior.
Objects of Desire is split into four sections, focussing on Surrealism’s influence on everyday objects, interior design, fashion and the body, and the mind.
Some of the world’s most famous Surrealist paintings and sculptures – such as Dalí’s Lobster Telephone and Man Ray’s The Gift (Le Cadeau) – are on show alongside dozens of contemporary pieces of art and design. Nearly a third of the objects on show are from the past 50 years.
Most of the objects on show are on loan from the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, with other pieces coming on loan from private collections and leading institutions including Tate and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.
