  5. What is a 1936 furry teacup? It's surreal.

    Surrealists allow the unconscious mind to express itself in their illogical or dreamlike art. From the contradiction of dream and reality comes a super-reality, or surreality.

    Artist Meret Oppenheim bought a teacup, saucer, and spoon from a department store in Paris and covered them in fur. The idea began in a nearby café, when she jokingly asked the waiter for "a little more fur" to insulate her cooling cup of tea. This work is the most frequently-cited example of sculpture in the surrealist movement.

    In 1936—with Sigmund Freud's popularity—an oral-sexual interpretation was inevitable. The spoon? Phallic. The cup? Vaginal. The hair? Pubic. The whole sculpture was disconcerting: from decadent fur on animalistic household items to the thought of wet hair in the mouth. Others wanted to stroke the cup like a pet.

    A New York museum curator bought it for about $50.
