Salvador Dali

Venus a la tete de Roses

Bronze sculpture, with lost wax casting, by the surrealistic master Salvador Dalì, realized in 1980-81.

The artwork represents a modern and surrealistic Venus: the feminine figure doesn't have face, but it's made by roses, creating an alienated effect (typical of surrealism).

The body of the goddess seams to destructure, it's not the same Venus of the classic tradition. She is forced to support herself on a crutch: this is one of the most recurrent object in Dalì' production and it symbolizes the duality between the "hardness" (the body) and the
"softness" (the unconscious).

Simply plug it in, press the botton and the crutch lights up!

This work is part of a worldwide edition of 350 examples and 35 E.A., with Dalì's signature and Certificate of Authenticity; it is published on "DALI, sculpture & objets, le dur et le mou", Robert and Nicolas Descharnes (Eccart 2007), pg 259. This scuplture is signed E.A.
