The strange objects and sculptures produced by the Surrealists manifest the interplay of bizarre contrasts, of a shaken reality that forges the subconscious and dreamy states. This is the first comprehensive publication to focus exclusively on the Surrealists’ three-dimensional works—about 180 of them in all. From today’s perspective, many of them seem surprisingly fresh and contemporary, not at all like historical artifacts. The selection presents more than fifty artists of the Surrealist period, including familiar names such as Duchamp, Magritte, Dalí, Picasso, and Man Ray, but also many other artists whose striking works are yet to be discovered by a wider public. \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e(German\u0026nbsp;edition ISBN \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e978-3-7757-2768-6)\u003c\/SPAN\u003e \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=TheSans\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eExhibition schedule:\u0026nbsp; Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, February\u0026nbsp;11–May 29, 2011\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44873324134664,"sku":"9783775727693","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775727693_53f2a711-3db4-4040-8645-3a449a58f006.jpg?v=1744138186","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16554-surreal-objects","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
