Salvador Dali’s Persistence of Memory bronze sculpture reimagines his iconic 1931 painting as a three-dimensional surrealist masterpiece. Known for his fascination with time and its ephemeral nature, this work captures Dalí’s melting clocks, a motif representing the fluidity of existence. This sculpture is a testament to his ability to merge the tangible and intangible, elevating his artistic legacy into the sculptural realm. Cast by Camblest Foundry in 1981, it is authenticated by the publisher IAR, Camblest Foundry, and the Salvador Dalí Archives under Albert Field. Literature reference includes Le Dur et le Mou by Robert and Nicolas Descharnes (pg. 246, Ref #632).

Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory is arguably his most important visual symbol.
