Questions About Surreal Objects
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Many pieces could arguably be considered the most Surreal object that Dalí created. During his lifetime, the artist created a number of thought-provoking works like the Aphrodisiac Telephone, a mixed media sculpture that featured a lobster perched on a rotary telephone, and Surrealist Object Functioning Symbolically, a woman's shoe positioned in a glass of milk in a wooden frame accompanied by a box of sugar lumps, a spoon and an erotic photograph. Shop an assortment of Salvador Dalí art from some of the world's top galleries on 1stDibs.
