Oppenheim advised on the art displayed in ministries and British embassies, and became chairman of the council of the Royal College of Art, receiving an honorary doctorate in 1972. He exhibited with the London Group, Royal Academy, the Upper Grosvenor Galleries, Spink & Sons and New Grafton Gallery.
 
Whilst at the College he encountered both Stanley Spencer and David Hockney. He also served as chairman of the Council of Industrial Design (1960-72); committee member for the V & A (1967-79); and deputy chairman of the Arts Council (1972-83). In 1960 he was knighted, and in 1969 was awarded the bicentenary medal of the Royal Society of Arts.
