SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Winged Triton", ca. 1972. Bronze sculpture on marble base, example A 289/300. Signed and justified at the bottom. Certificate of authenticity issued by Exmundart enclosed. Measurements: 22 x 11 x 11 cm. Dalí represented the marine god, son of Poseidon, gliding over the waters, dispensing with the company with which we are accustomed to seeing him in classical iconography (accompanied by horses and nereids, surrounded by dolphins and playing the conch shell with which he announced storms). Triton possessed the gift of prophecy, which is why he was often the guide of the great mythological heroes. Dalí, on the other hand, focused on the character's vulnerability, emphasising the sensation of instability produced by the waves on the hero's flesh. In his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who travelled regularly to Paris. Following Pichot's advice, Dalí began to study painting with Juan Núñez. In 1922, Dalí stayed at the famous Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid to begin studying Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy. However, before his final exams in 1926, he was expelled for claiming that there was no one there fit to examine him. That same year Dalí travelled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established certain formal characteristics that were to become distinctive of all his work from then on. His language absorbed the influences of many artistic styles, from classical academicism to the most groundbreaking avant-garde. At that time, the painter grew an eye-catching moustache in imitation of Velázquez's, which was to become his personal trademark for the rest of his life. In 1929, Dalí collaborated with Luis Buñuel in the making of "An Andalusian Dog", which depicted scenes typical of the surrealist imaginary. In August of the same year he met his muse and future wife Gala. During this period Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the Surrealist group based in the Montparnasse district of Paris. His work greatly influenced the direction of Surrealism for the next two years, and he was acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, which was said to help access the subconscious by releasing creative artistic energies. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to the art dealer Julian Levy. Following his first solo exhibition in New York his international reputation was definitively consolidated, and from then on he showed his work and gave lectures all over the world. Most of his production is housed in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) and the Dalí Universe in London.

CALDERÓN DE LA BARCA (Madrid, 1600 - 1681) and SALVADOR DALÍ (Figueres, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Life is a dream, 1975. Book with 16 original etchings by Dalí plus two repeats; one in sanguine and another from the lined plate. Copy 129/265. Printer Editorial E. Subirana S.A. Burlap binding. Copy with Salvador Dalí's autograph signature in pencil. Measurements: 40 x 30 x 7 cm (book); 41 x 31 x 8 cm (box). This work illustrates Dalí's vision of Calderón's play "La vida es sueño", a baroque play premiered in 1635, whose central theme is that of freedom in the face of personal destiny. During his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who regularly traveled to Paris.

A Cuba Palm Wine Drinking Cup Palm wine drinking cup Cuba, DR Congo Ohne Sockel / without base Wood. H 18 cm. Provenance: Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. The name "Kuba" comes from the Bantu language and means "throwing knife". The Kingdom of Kuba was an association of around 20 Bantu-speaking ethnic groups that ruled autonomously as a political confederation from the 17th to the end of the 19th century, until it lost its autonomy under the pressure of Belgian colonial rule. However, the confederation dominated by the Bushong ruling class still exists today and, in addition to the Bushoong, includes the Ngeende, Ngongo, Kete and Shoowa. The Kuba have a particular fondness for geometric shapes and decorate most utensils and ritual objects with intricate, mostly geometric patterns. This finely designed vessel is probably a so-called "trust or friendship cup" from which initiates drink palm wine together according to prescribed rules. The differently designed cups indicate the degree of initiation of the owners. Further reading: Robbins, Warren M. / Ingram Nooter, Nancy (1989). African Art in American Collections. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press. ----------------------------------------------------- Gérald Minkoff and Muriel Olesen Muriel Minkoff-Olesen (1948- 2020) completed her training at the School of Design in Geneva. Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) was a trained anthropologist and biologist. Both achieved fame as artists and from their meeting in 1967, the emblematic couple of contemporary art were inseparable. The travel-loving Olesen-Minkoff duo explored life like curious nomads, roaming the globe from Africa to Asia, Oceania, America and Patagonia. As artists and experienced collectors of contemporary art, they understandably had a keen sensitivity to the aesthetics and concepts of non-European art. The couple's Geneva apartment, perhaps their most beautiful joint work, thus became a place where the works of close friends such as Daniel Spoerri, Arman and Man Ray, as well as their own photographs, lived together with almost a thousand objects from Africa, Oceania, Asia and South America.
