Dance of Time II
Dance of Time II
Bronze, green and gold patinated, height: 30.5 cm, limited edition of 350 copies, signed.
The melting clock is Dalí's most famous symbol and accompanied his work throughout his life. His obsession with time transformed the precise, solid clock into a soft, flowing object that appears here as if in a dance – stretchable, accelerating, decelerating, without fixed order.
Dalí plays with contrasts: hard and soft, reality and dream. The clock loses its function and adapts to individual meanings. In this sculpture, its soft form contrasts with the solid tree trunk. The Dance of Time II is presented together with Dance of Time I and Dance of Time III .

SPAIN, 1904 - 1989
Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí, born in Figueras in 1904, is considered one of the leading minds of surrealism and one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Around 1929 he found his own style, which explored the world of the unconscious and dreams. With melting clocks and burning giraffes, he created iconic images that show his technical skills in an old-masterly style. Common themes in Dalí's works are intoxication, fever and religion, with his wife Gala often playing a central role. After an eventful life that took him from Spain to the USA and back to Europe, Dalí died in 1989, leaving a lasting legacy in the art world.
