AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)
Building of eyes
Surrealist sculpture in bronze – Edition 21/35 – Lost-wax casting
A singular sculpture titled “Building of eyes,” made in bronze using the traditional lost-wax casting technique, belonging to a limited edition of 35 copies, this piece being number 20/35.
The work develops an impactful architectural and surreal composition in which a large vertical structure appears covered by a rhythmic succession of eyes in relief, creating a powerful sense of surveillance, mystery and dreaminess. At the lower zone, a small building and a stylized street lamp introduce an urban reference that reinforces the monumental and imaginary scale of the edifice.
What stands out is the richness of the modeling, with a deliberately textured surface, marked by reliefs, incisions and different bronze treatments that provide depth and expressive strength. The piece features an attractive patina in green, bluish and brown tones, especially effective in highlighting the volumes and the fantastical character of the composition.
The reverse preserves the textures inherent to the casting process and shows marks and incisions, visible in the photographs. The sculpture integrates with its own architectural base, forming a striking decorative and sculptural ensemble.
Title: Building of eyes
Technique: Bronze in lost-wax casting
Edition: 21/35
Finish: Patina green, bluish and brown
Condition: Good overall condition, with slight variations, abrasions and superficial oxidations inherent to the nature and patina of bronze. See detailed photographs.
A work of pronounced surrealist personality and extraordinary visual impact, especially attractive to collectors of contemporary and surrealist sculpture
