Surreal Things: Surrealism and Design (ed. Ghislaine Wood; V&A Publications 2007/2011) is the first book to examines in depth the influence of Surrealism on the wider fields of design and decorative arts and its sometimes uneasy relationship with the commercial world. The book was published to accompany a major V&A exhibition.
From the sensuality of Dali’s Mae West Lips Sofa to Schiaparelli’s disturbing Tear Dress, Surrealism produced some of the most emotive objects ever created (…) Featuring 350 stunning ilustrations, including rarely seen pieces from private collections, the remarkable range of objects covered in this book spans painting, sculpture, works on paper, jewellery, ceramics, textiles, furniture, fashion, film and photography.
