Do you dream about owning a Dali, Picasso, or Miro? Truth be told that while purchasing an original may be out of most of our pockets, but owning a limited edition work is not necessarily as far out of range as one may think. The other night a few friends and I attended the William Bennett Galleries opening for the introduction of bronzed bas-reliefs of Dali's famous "12 Signs of the Zodiac." Along with these were a number of rare prints and limited editions from various Dali collections on the main floor. (Miro's, Picasso's and the like were on the lower floor and well worth seeking)
For those of you not familiar with the works of Dali he was a master and driving force of surrealism. Think back to art classes in high school or college and does the image of "melting clocks" come to mind now by any chance (see picture below)? Dali had a mind numbingly incredible imagination and was gifted with the ability to transpose what was in his mind's eye onto a number of mediums to share with the world (Dali produced paintings, sculpture, graphic arts and even film).
One of the great things about NYC is the ability to see these wondrous works for free in the incredible selection of galleries throughout Manhattan, especially SoHo. For information on how long this show goes and inquiries on acquiring pieces please contact the gallery.
* Works start as low I believe in the 2K range (please do not quote me) and go up and up from there...hey I did say affordable, these are not poster prints...
