Episode description
Would you drink from a fur-lined teacup? Or does it sound like the stuff of nightmares? This week we take a look at Meret Oppenheim’s surrealist piece, Breakfast in Fur: a teacup, saucer and spoon cloaked in the fur of a Chinese gazelle. To uncover the history behind this object, we discuss the usual suspects (Freud, Picasso), being chased by lions and how to keep your lungs healthy. See images here!
