| Elsa Schiaparelli Evening dress and headscarf in Tear design, Summer/Fall 1938 On loan from Philadelphia Museum of Art, no. 1969-232-45a, b |
On view March 29 – July 22 at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, Surreal Things will examine Surrealism’s impact on architecture, design and the decorative arts, from the sensuality of Dali’s Mae West Lips sofa to Schiaparelli’s disturbing Tear dress.
Surrealism evolved from radical avant-garde beginnings to become one of the most influential movements of the 20th century. Surreal Things will trace its development from the creation of the first objects in the 1920s to its commercialization after World War II, as the movement was absorbed into the worlds of fashion, commercial design, graphics and film. On view through July 22.
