‘Freedom is Not Given to’ — Meret Oppenheim Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“Freedom is not given to you — you have to take it.” Meret Oppenheim said this accepting the City of Basel Art Prize in 1975, decades after her fur-lined teacup Object made her famous at 22 and then nearly trapped her as a Surrealist muse. She spent the years between clawing the artist back out of the icon — living proof that freedom is a thing you seize, since no one had handed her hers.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
