DALÍ, Salvador.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

A Study of his Art-in-Jewels. First edition of this photobook collecting images of Dalí's singular work with jewels and precious metals. The artist writes, "Paladin of a new Renaissance, I too refuse to be confined. My art encompasses physics, mathematics, architecture, nuclear science - the physico-nuclear, the mystico-nuclear - and jewelry - not paint alone."The jewellery was made in New York by the Argentinean goldsmith Carlos Alemany, and was acquired by the Owen Cheatham Foundation in 1958, which exhibited them at various premises. The collection is currently held at the Dalí Theater-Museu in Figueres. A numbered edition of 100 copies signed by the artist was also issued.
