Albert Anker. Reading Girls
Reading girls have been and remain a sign that a society invests in the education of women and thus seeks to improve their economic and social status. Albert Anker (1831–1910) was not only concerned with the education of children as a politician; as a painter he also often represented girls and young women reading and writing.

Meret Oppenheim. My Exhibition
Exhibition catalogue Meret Oppenheim. My Exhibition
The Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913–1985) may be best known for her fur-lined teacup of 1936, but her legacy encompasses much more than this notorious Surrealist object. Over the course of some sixty years Oppenheim produced a dizzying range of unconventional paintings, drawings, sculptures, collages, and assemblages. She engaged with witty wordplay, celestial bodies, and the heroine of a fable from the High Middle Ages, and employed unusual materials such as saws, almonds, and ornate picture frames. Only the force of her creative vision held together her freewheeling and singular artistic practice: “Nobody will give you freedom,” Oppenheim said, “you have to take it.”
Published in conjunction with the first major transatlantic retrospective of Oppenheim’s career, Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition. Essays by curators Nina Zimmer, Natalie Dupêcher, and Anne Umland.
