Surrealism, the movement that gave us disembodied eyeballs, melting clocks and lobster phones, turns 100 this year. Mark Polizzotti, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, argues that Surrealism was much more than an artistic or literary phenomenon. The Surrealists also delved into Marx and Freud and remain relevant today. 

Guest: Mark Polizzotti, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His new book is ‘Why Surrealism Matters’ (Yale University Press)
