In the heart of Montmartre, the famous artists’ village, Dalí Paris displays a private collection of more than 300 surrealist works, sculptures, prints, objects, and furniture, offering a very particular vision of Dalí as a sculptor, designer, engraver, and illustrator.
This collection brings together the absurd inspirations of this quintessential surrealist artist: theatrical sculptures, erotic, dreamlike, or irresistibly funny drawings, poetic objects and furniture, populating the phantasmagorical universe of the inventor of the ‘melting watches’. Salvador Dalí never stopped sculpting, modelling, transforming: his bronze sculptures therefore constitute a major aspect of his work, making his iconic surrealist designs 3D.
From the spindly legs of his Elephants to the instantly recognizable ‘melting watches’, each of Dalí’s sculptures is a dreamlike depiction of some of his favourite themes.
With his cultured background, Dalí was fascinated by great literary, mythological, and religious themes. He has used multiple techniques to illustrate universal texts such as Alice in Wonderland, Don Quixote, and The Bible, as well as more personal works such as Moses and Monotheism, The Alchemy of the Philosophers. Each of these works is a piece of art.
Immortality, the subconscious, science, love: just some of the transversal themes you can discover from a new angle through Dalí’s work.
