Edition of 40. Counter Culture Chronicles is honored to announce the release of Gedichte, a rare collection of surrealistic poetry by legendary artist Meret Oppenheim. These German-language poems reveal an intimate dimension of the visionary who revolutionized modern art with her provocative sculptures and conceptual works. Best known for her iconic Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure) - the fur-covered teacup that became synonymous with Surrealist art - Oppenheim's literary voice demonstrates the same radical imagination and subversive wit that defined her visual practice. These poems showcase her mastery of language as another medium for exploring the unconscious, dreams, and the liberation of creative expression.

The collection offers unprecedented insight into Oppenheim's inner world and her role within the Surrealist movement alongside figures like Max Ernst, Man Ray, and André Breton. Her poetry reflects the same fearless experimentation that made her one of the few women to achieve recognition within the male-dominated Surrealist circle.

This release represents a significant contribution to understanding the full artistic scope of one of the 20th century's most influential creative voices.
