In the upcoming exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in Basel, works from the 1930s until the 1970s will be on view, showcasing Oppenheim’s wide-ranging and boundary-breaking practice across painting, drawing, sculpture and design. Despite being affiliated with some of the most influential art movements of the 20th Century, including Surrealism and Dada, Oppenheim defied categorization. Infused with humor and an attitude of profound intellectual independence, her works critically explored themes of identity and sexuality which still hold relevance today. Curated in close collaboration with Josef Helfenstein, curator and art historian, the exhibition features rarely exhibited works from the artist’s oeuvre.
