Profile of Time (1977) - Limited Bronze Sculpture - Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali's famous clocks - in 1931, the Spanish artist created the painting La persistencia de la memoria (The Persistence of Memory), which, contrary to the motif of transience in the image, made him immortal. The oil painting, which is also called Melting Clocks or The Soft Watches, lastingly shaped the period of surrealism. Back then as well as today, the melting clocks are of a strongly symbolic nature, which is also the main motif in this sculpture that was created in 1984 during one of Dali's later creative periods. The contemporary bronze sculpture depicts Salvador Dali's soft watches. This bronze motif is taken directly from the painting, thus the famous clock of Dali is hanging from the branch of a dead tree. The contemporary bronze sculpture is called Profile of Time. A particularly remarkable fact is that the supposedly soft, malleable, melting clock is directly affiliated with the robust, durable bronze material. The contemporary sculpture, which is placed on a green, faceted and rounded marble base, is exclusively limited to 20 pieces and serially numbered.
