Salvador Dalí

Deco Design sculpture OSCAR

The “golden welcoming figurines” at the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres are not Oscars, but gilded figures designed by Dalí (or created according to his instructions) that adorn the façade and the roof.
Many visitors refer to them as “Oscar-like” because, like the real Academy Awards, they are slender, gold-painted human figurines.
They are part of Dalí’s theatrical total design for the museum (1970–1974): a pink façade with small sandwiches (panes), gigantic eggs on the roof, and the golden figurines along the edge and around the main entrance. (SD13 – h. 17.5 cm.)
