"Be transported into a world of melting clocks and anthropomorphic sculpture in the Dalí Universe. County Hall Gallery presents the Dalí Universe, a retrospective of Salvador Dalí, the greatest surrealist, self-publicist and creative genius of the twentieth century. Presented with Dalí-inspired style and flair in a dreamlike labyrinth of galleries, the Dalí Universe places viewers in the heart of a surreal fantasyland. The exhibition unravels the master's mind with precision and creativity. Over 500 of his amazing works are on exhibit, including the largest collection of Dalí sculptures dating from 1935-1984, his drawings, lithographs, gold and glass objects and a Dalí-inspired furniture collection. In the Dalí Universe you find yourself inside the wild and twisted mind of the Catalan master – his enigmatic personality ebbs from every piece. Curated by Beniamino Levi, who worked with Dalí on the development of his sculptures, the Dalí Universe has an ambience of intimacy with the artist. Since its opening in the summer of 2000, the Dalí Universe has continued to delight and inspire over 250 000 visitors a year, and has become a favourite for school and social groups. Set in County Hall Gallery at the heart of London’s South Bank, the Dalí Universe has helped to develop the South Bank area as a thriving cultural centre." © County Hall Gallery Limited 2003 |
