German-Swiss surrealist painter, poet and photographer Méret Oppenheim died

I gut my mushrooms
I am the first guest come through
And let fall the walls.
1934

Given how little of her work was actually exhibited during her lifetime and how much of it was lost, Oppenheim’s impact on future generations is all the more remarkable. Her wryly subversive Surrealist designs for Elsa Schiaparelli sparked endless imitations and spin-offs, from Tokio Kumagai’s edible shoes to Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress. She also inspired numerous works by Feminist artists of the 1960s and 70s.
