Description
The Surrealist Angel is among Salvador Dalí’s most iconic sculptural forms, translating the artist’s surreal vocabulary into three dimensions with striking clarity. The winged, classical figure—pierced by an open torso and crowned with a geometric, faceted head—embodies Dalí’s recurring themes of metamorphosis, transcendence, and the tension between the corporeal and the metaphysical.
This example comes from the Rudolf Rom / Rom y Rom edition of 1,500, the most widely recognized and documented edition of this model, and is accompanied by its original notarized certificate detailing the contractual framework under which the bronzes were cast. With its strong visual presence and clear documentation, The Surrealist Angel remains a compelling entry point for collectors seeking a sculptural work by Dalí with enduring name recognition and decorative impact.
