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.
