Dali Exhibit at Two Rodeo Drive - The first & largest show in US
June 9, 2016
This world class exhibition of 12 iconic Salvador Dali sculptures is presented by Two Rodeo Drive and Galerie Michael, with a sponsorship from Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau. Drawing visitors locally and internationally, the collection will be free to the public and on display at Two Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills from June 16, 2016 to September 23, 2016.
The exhibit highlights Dali's three-dimensional bronze monumental sculptures that are up to 12 feet tall as well as museum-sized sculptures that range in size from four to nine feet. Loaned from The Stratton Institute which possesses the world's largest collection of Dali's monumental sculptures, the exhibit offers the rare opportunity to view Dali's surreal sculptures in an open environment outside of a museum or gallery setting. Each sculpture highlights Dali's untamed imagination, offering onlookers a surreal and unique experience.
The following are descriptions of the pieces that will be on display this summer:
Monumental Sculptures:
Persistence of Memory:
Dalinian time is not rigid, but rather fluid. The unexpected softness of the watch represents the psychological fact that speed of time, while precise in scientific use, is widely variable in human perception.
Saint George and the Dragon:
Saint George, guardian angel of Aragon and celebrated saint of chivalry in medieval Europe, battles against heresy and evil.
The Unicorn
: The mythical creature, a symbol of purity. The sensual nature of the piece is created with the portrayal the unicorn as a phallic figure with the out-stretched woman at its hooves.
Woman Aflame:
‘A woman's mystery is her true beauty,' as idealised with Dali's use of the flames and drawers that convey the hidden intensity of unconscious desire and the mystery of hidden secrets.
Museum Sculptures:
Dance of Time I:
Dalinian time is perpetual, “dancing on”, stopping for no man, history or the cosmos. The sculpture exemplifies Dali's relationship with time, his perception of its constricting limitations and the importance he believed to be inherent in memory.
Dance of Time II:
The fluidity and space of time is represented through constant movement and dancing in sync to the beat of the universe.
Horse Saddled with Time: ‘
Man believes he is in control of the voyage, but it is time who is the ultimate rider.' This famous Dalinian image of the horse saddled with Dalinian time, time that controls all of man's passage.
Triumphant Angel:
The beautiful Dalian angel trumpets his divine music, wings spread, head thrown back, sending his jubilant message to all who will listen.
Triumphant Elephant:
Exemplifies every individual's hope for abundance and good fortune in the future.
Snail and the Angel:
A place in the Dalinian universe intimately connected with the artist's encounter with Sigmund Freud, who Dali regarded as his spiritual father.
Surrealist Piano:
Dali animates the instrument into an animated and joyous musical piano that can dance with its legs from a woman as well as play.
Surrealist Warrior:
Roman warrior representing all victories - real and ethereal, spiritual and physical.
Dali Exhibit at Two Rodeo Drive
was organized collaboratively by Beniamino Levi, President of The Stratton Institute and Michael Schwartz owner of Galerie Michael, both who had personal relationships with Dali. Over the duration of the exhibition, Galerie Michael will offer complimentary docent tours of the collection on weekends at 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm. The tours will begin on Saturday, June 25.
The exhibit has also partnered with Operation Smile, an international non-profit medical organization dedicated to improving the health and lives of children in developing countries with access to surgical care for those born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other facial deformities. Donations raised during the exhibition as well as a percentage of sales from purchased sculptures will benefit Operation Smile. Galerie Michael is proud to support the children of Operation Smile through this promotion.
Two Rodeo Drive is home to 30 luxury and fashion boutiques including Galerie Michael, Jimmy Choo, Versace, Lanvin, Porsche Design, Brunello Cucinelli, Stefano Ricci, Breguet, Richard Mille, Etro, Philipp Plein and 208 Rodeo and Urasawa restaurants. Two Rodeo Drive's latest additions include Audemars Piguet and Carolina Herrera. Two Rodeo Drive is instantly recognizable as an iconic symbol of the prestigious and distinctive city of Beverly Hills and America's most celebrated shopping district. Two Rodeo Drive is located at the corner of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.
