Any love for Dali? Sculpture going for a song...., by stang on Apr 7, 2011 9:41:05 GMT 1, Hey all,
Already know this is probably not my ideal target market but I'm sweating a bit as have a cracking little Dali sculpture up on eBay going for next to nothing.
Even though it's listed on .com I'm Dublin based so no customs etc. for European buyers. .com just seems to generate more interest in Dali.
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250795712217&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_584wt_1139
Anyway, just putting it out there. Cheers

Any love for Dali? Sculpture going for a song...., by stang on Apr 7, 2011 12:45:08 GMT 1, Cheers guys, yep that's the risk of no reserve auctions! Anyway who knows 53 watchers so maybe someone will make a last dash!
Des - yep more info, the full title is "The Venus de Milo with Drawers" or "Grande Venus de Milo aux tiroirs" although the cast date is not on the documents it is my understanding that these were cast in '79/'80 scaled down from the life size one off plaster versions of 1936 and bronze version of '64. It has a green patina and is 21cm high.
The Venus de Milo pops up regularly throughout most of Dali's career, in fact as a young lad he modeled her in clay and said years later that "She was the origin of my first attempt at sculpture and an unforgettable and delicious erotic pleasure."
Saucy....
The drawers themselves are a direct reference to Freud who spoke about the "drawers of the human soul". Dali placed the drawers in the Venus because he was commenting on the fact that the ancient Greeks had no Freud or introspection.
As it says in the listing, I fully guarantee the authenticity and if you would like any more info give me a shout.
Cheers Wiz for the endorsement!
