At the Mollbrinks Art stand, visitors will be able to admire the wealth of the Dalinian surrealistic iconography that the Catalan artist accomplished during his lifetime.

The multiple editions bronze sculptures “Dance of Time I” and “Dance of Time II” will illustrate to the public of the Stockholm International Antiques Fair ANTIKMÄSSAN 2020 the Dalinian obsession of time through the melting clock, one of Dalí’s best-known images, whose origin is the famous 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory.

In the bronze artwork “Homage to Newton” Dalí decided to honour Isaac Newton, the English mathematician who discovered the law of universal gravitation after an apple fell onto his head.

The sculpture “Alice in Wonderland” will present the visitors with the iconic Dalinian image of the young and eternal girl protagonist of the Lewis Carroll novel, who appears in many of Dalì’s paintings around the 1930’s.

The Stockholm International Antiques Fair ANTIKMÄSSAN 2020 will be preceded by the opening ceremony on Wednesday 12th February at 4:30 pm, which will offer a preview of the great and long awaited art fair, before its official opening.
