Description

Dalí found that glass and more precisely the pate de verre, offered the perfect medium for the “expression of metamorphosis” that, according to Dalí, is his surrealist perception of reality. The Daum collection allows us to see the genius of Dalí through the translucency of sculptures modeled from colored glass.

In front of such a beautiful piece, Noel Daum asked himself: “Does a sculpture allow herself to dream? From the color of the sky from which they also have their transparency, these eggs which fell from an Easter bell, returning from Rome, have a look that fixes upon you and draws your attention”.
