next back to bio Title: Head of Beethoven Medium: Cast Bronze Patina: Green/Gold Dimensions: 73 x 40 x 22 cm Year: 1973 Edition size: 990 cast in 2003 Beethoven’s Head, the last work in an 8 pieces sculpture collection, was initially a drawing in ink that Dali did in public in 1973, with his Catalan espadrilles. Then he wished to do it in bronze, but he did not live to see the model cast. We don’t know exactly what is behind this spectacular Beethoven’s Head, no doubt a hazy souvenir from a faraway day of childhood when he and his musician friend Ricardo Pichot, watching the sky after a storm, saw the clouds form an enormous head of Beethoven. |
