Much has been written about her career and her art. Yet very little is known about the real person, who always remained secretive about herself and banned publication of any personal documents until twenty years after her death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 1958, Oppenheim put together an album that she titled \u003ci\u003eVon der Kindheit bis 1943\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eFrom Childhood to 1943\u003c\/i\u003e). It has a dual identity of a diary and a work of art. It assembles photos, objects, notes, and brief texts, as well as ideas and concepts for artworks, and offers very personal insights into Oppenheim's private life and thought. This book features the entire album in true-size color reproductions and, for the first time ever, translates the full text into English. The album is supplemented with a previously unpublished autobiographical text by Oppenheim, which she compiled in 1970-71. Rounded out with an introduction by coeditors Lisa Wenger and Martina Corgnati, this beautiful book offers entirely new perspectives on one of the most distinguished woman artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Wenger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039420933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039420933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.91h x 8.66w x 1.18d","brand":"Lisa Wenger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078799323391,"sku":"9783039420933","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36b121ff-018d-4fd8-a221-ea5b6ac297c2.jpg?v=1685477588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meret-oppenheim-my-album-lisa-wenger-9783039420933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
