Surreal Encounters. Collecting the Marvellous
Surreal Encounters: Collecting the Marvellous brings together some of the finest Surrealist works of art from four legendary collections, those of Edward James, Roland Penrose, Gabrielle Keiller and Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch.
The ways that Surrealist art has been collected display many of the idiosyncratic passions of Surrealism itself. This exhibition will examine the different impulses behind these four extraordinary collections presenting a fuller and richer picture of the Surrealist movement as a whole.
Highlights include works such as, Mae West Lips Sofa, 1938 and Lobster telephone by 顿补濒铆, Magritte鈥檚 La reproduction interdite, 1937, Leonor Fini鈥檚 Due Donne, 1939 and Dorothea Tanning鈥檚 Eine Kleine Nachtmusik 1943.
