News: Colossal Dali Sculptures in NYC

A new exhibition called “The Vision of a Genius” will open tomorrow in New York’s Time Warner Center (at Columbus Circle) featuring 16 monumental bronze sculptures by Surrealist artist Salvador Dali. The pieces will be placed around the public spaces of shopping complex and will be on display through April 30th, 2011.
 
The two highlights of the exhibition are also the largest, Dali’s 16-foot “The Persistence of Memory” and the 11-foot “Woman Aflame.” They are both owned by Italian modern art expert Beniamino Levi and for sale, each over a million.
 
The exhibition also features 40 Dali drawings and paintings belonging to Enrique Sabater y Bonany, the late artist’s private secretary from 1968 to 1981. The show was curated by Olivier Azevedo, the president of Galerie Elysées on Central Park South.
