"Hommage to Fashion"

Monumental sculpture to be on display at art Karlsruhe 2025

More about this sculpture

Hommage to Fashion

Salvador Dalí

DETAILS

Year: conceived in 1971, first cast in 1984

Height: 179 cm

Material: bronze

DESCRIPTION
As a boy, Dalí loved dressing up, “disguise was one of my strongest passions as a child”. Dalí’s relationship with the world of haute couture began in the 1930’s and lasted throughout his lifetime.

In this sculpture, Dalí pays tribute to figures who influenced his art: Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli and model Amanda Lear. This remarkable sensual Venus poses in the stance of a supermodel, her head a bouquet of roses. Before her kneels a courtier, a dandy paying homage to his muse. Both figures lean on a staff for support, the staff or crutch a reoccurring Dalinian symbol.
