Collection on offer
Monumental Sculptures
These sculptures measure up to seven meters in height and they have been shown in the most exclusive locations around the world. They create an impressive exhibit that leaves visitors awestruck.
Large-sized Museum Sculptures
This superb collection, which is the most important and largest collection of Dalí's museum sized sculptures anywhere in the world, brings to light many different aspects of Dalí's creativity. Each individual sculpture, from the "Dance of Time" to the "Triumphant Elephant", parallel his most prolific surrealistic themes and imagery.
Smaller-sized Museum Sculptures
During his lifetime, Dalí created these exciting sculptures to parallel his favorite Surrealistic themes and images. The art-loving world is intimately familiar with the Artist's most famous images.
Daum Glass Sculptures
The artistic collaboration between Dalí and the French Nancy-based Daum cristallerie, resulted in a fascinating and original collection of ethereal glass sculptures. Ten of these creations are presented here.
Surrealistic Furniture
The furniture was borne out of a creative collaboration between Dalí and a Parisian furniture maker during the 1930's. The resulting pieces are as diverse as they are surreal, the Bracelli lamp and the Vis a Vis Sofa are some of the best examples.
Universal Tarot - Original Collages
These famous original artworks represent the universal 'Tarot' and were created in collage, watercolour and gouache. Dalì is the only artist to have re-interpreted the major and minor Arcana since 1910. Dalì painted this beautiful series for Gala, his wife and lifetime muse. The entire collection, rarely exhibited, is demonstrative of Dalì's skill as an artisan and as an inventor of allegory.
Gold Artworks
Once again, Dalí's expansive imagination is dazzling. Dalí d'Or-Objets Montés (Dalí Gold-Mounted Objects) were created by Dalí in order to emulate royalty in all its excess and splendour. In a typically eccentric flourish Dalí went on to create twelve new objects assembled from his Dalí d'Or coins. Sacred emblems and legendary beasts inspired Dalì to create these fantasmagoric golden objects.
Illustrated Books
Dalí, the undisputed graphic Master, undertook the enormous task of illustrating the great themes of literature in a style expressly Surrealistic – a style which defined him so well. This facet of Dalì's genius is unparalleled by any other artist in history. The etchings and lithographs collected for this exhibition have been carefully chosen for their rarity and uniqueness.
