Sotheby's London A bid just above the top pre-sale estimate. Ernst wrote in an article published in 1937 that in 1930 he had been visited daily by Loplop, Bird Superior, a private phantom very much attached and devoted to him. Though his identification with Loplop may have been part of Ernst's private mythology, this did not for a moment deter his Surrealist friends from seeing the creature as his alter ego. Loplop, this neologism, whose origin was the subject of much speculation, turned up for the first time towards the end of the 1920's. The word probably alluded to Ferdinand Lop, a street poet of Paris who was the continual butt of the students admiring laughter. The air of the Latin Quater was said to have rung with the cry «Lop lop !» during those years. The symetry of the two syllables might have reminded Ernst of the word «Dada» or of Jarry's «Ubu» or perhaps even of Kurt Schwitters' «Grimm glimm gnimm bimbimm» as the sale catalogue stated.
