SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Nude woman climbing the stairs", 1974. Bronze sculpture on marble base, copy 242/300. Signed and justified. Measurements: 21,5 x 13 x 12 cm. Salvador Dalí gives us in this sculpture the image of a young woman climbing a staircase that is a conch shell. Probably, this is a surrealist homage to Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending the Stairs", who in 1912 made a series of paintings with this theme, causing a great stir at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris (being rejected even by the Cubists) and at the Armory Show in New York. 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 traveled 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 traveled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established some formal characteristics that would become distinctive of all his work from then on. During this period, Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the surrealist group based in the Parisian neighborhood of Montparnasse. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to art dealer Julian Levy. As a result of his first individual exhibition in New York, his international projection was definitively consolidated, and since then he has been showing his work and giving lectures all over the world. Most of his production is gathered 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) or the Dalí Universe in London.

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.
