The Ear of Giacometti: Post-Surrealist Art from Meret Oppenheim to Mariella Mosler

Taking as its departure point the "Surrealist object" as theorized by André Breton in the early 1930s, The Ear of Giacometti compiled and edited by Belinda Gardner looks at the importance of the work from a new generation of artists applying Surrealist conceptions of enigmatic objects and fragments to the fragmentary world we live in today.

The volume opens with a six-page cabinet of curiosities display that underscores its object-oriented take on Surrealism, and reproduces works by Arp, Bellmer, Dali, Duchamp, Ernst, Giacometti and Oppenheim alongside more recent objects by Arman, Hubert Berke, Louise Bourgeois, Thorsten Brinkmann, Michael Buthe, Mathias Deutsch, Juul Kraijer, Kiki Smith, Daniel Spoerri, Anette Streyl, Paul Wunderlich and others.
