SALVADOR DALI (Spanish, 1904-1989)
TITLE: SPACE VENUS
MEDIUM: Bronze sculpture
SIZE: 65 cm (25.6 in)
EDITION: Edition of 350 with 35EA in bronze
DESCRIPTION: Excellent condition and Certified by publisher IAR as descended from Dali. This image beautifully typifies Dalinian philosophies toward the sacred feminine. The woman, calved, reveals her precious egg whose reflective surface reflects our own image as a viewer. Immutably, time courses and drips over the pristine skin as ants (stronger than they look) seek out morsels of flesh, symbolizing the decay of beauty over time.
LITERATURE: Catalogue Raisonne ‘Le Dur et le Mou’ by Robert & Nicolas Descharnes, pg. 239, Ref #616
