The Dalì Universe is an exhibition dedicated to Salvador Dalì with more than 100 works of the Master of the Surrealism. Visitor will have the opportunity to admire little known collections, such as bronze sculptures, illustrations on the main themes of literature, glass objects and the golden series.
The Diocesan Museum of St. Apollonia is pleased to host a unique exhibition, organized by the President of the Ambrosiana Foundation Beniamino Levi, one of the people who closely knew Salvador Dalì’s works, and it is an opportunity which allows people to admire the less known aspects of the work of this artist.
The Dalì Universe is an opportunity to discover significant works of Dalì, such as The Snail and the Angel (1977/84), emblem of his unique meeting with Sigmund Freud which happened in London in 1938, or moreover, the carved obsessions such as The Persistence of Memory (1980) and the Spatial Elephant (1980), which present two fetishes used often in Dalì’s poetry like the melting clock and the elephant with its legs multiplied upwards, but also the drawers in the human bodies like in Woman in Flames (1980).
