Specialist's Notes:
Born in 1904 in Figueras, Spain, Salvador Dalí is one of the most recognized names in Twentieth Century art. In 1934, Dalí’s muse, Gala, encouraged him to come to America, where he became an immediate celebrity. During this time, Dalí experimented in many new mediums including jewelry. Dalí signed a contract to create five designs a year with the jewelers Alemany & Ertman. The jewelry designs, echoing the imagery in his paintings, were inventive, clever and remarkable. One of the most notable being the ‘Eye of Time’ watch. Salvador Dalí died in 1989, leaving an artistic legacy. His works are housed in private collections and museums worldwide, including the Salvador Dalí Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, and St. Petersburg, Florida, and his Teatro-Museo Dalí in Figueras, Spain.
