SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "The Ten Commandments", 1975. Collection of 10 silver medals and methacrylate case with printed signature. Signed by the artist. Measurements: 5 cm diameter each medal. Collection composed of ten coins that symbolize the 10 commandments. Exemplifying some of the coins, the one corresponding to the tenth commandment (Thou shalt not covet the goods of others) shows a palace of monumental proportions, in which the construction and decoration are testimony of great wealth, and a knight entering the magnificent halls of the palace. On the right is a precarious and sluggish hut, protecting a poor man; corresponding to the ninth commandment (Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife) on the coin the desired symbolic meaning is reached by the inversion of an image which, seen from right to left, represents the piety due to a slave with his hands tied behind his back. Viewed in reverse, from left to right, the image changes meaning. What was piety is transformed into a desire for erotic concupiscence, since in this way what was previously the head of the figure becomes the back part. Painter and sculptor, Salvador Dalí was one of the greatest exponents of the surrealist movement. His work greatly influenced the course of surrealism during the twenties and thirties, being acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, an essential combination of the real with the imaginary. Most of his production is gathered in the Dalí Theater-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) or the Dalí Universe in London.
