Realizing an original design from 1936—the 🎐year of the creation of her famous Fur-lined Teacup —the demurely savage chic of these gloves turns the hands of the wearer insid🅠e out.


Oppenheim, who was so successful a Surrealist even as a student that she was commissioned to create gloves and jewel designs for the house of Schiaparelli (which notably collaborated with Salvador Dalí on a variety of Surreali🅘st objects). Oppenheim created these gloves in 1985 to be sold with a special issue of Parkett Magazine. These gloves turn expectation on its head: the very sign of aging that many women de🅰test, varicose veins, are put proudly on display here and prove the humanity of the wearer.


Pieces from the same edition are on display at the Museum ♈of Modern Art, New York (98.1998.1a-b) and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC.
