Description
This black and white image shows part of the dramatic glass ceiling and curving staircase of the interior of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The choice of elements here creates a minimalist design from this portion of the impressive structure.
The spectacular museum houses the largest collection of the artist's work outside Europe. The futuristic glass entryway and skylight is featured in this view. It is made of 1.5 inch thick glass. Referred to as the "Enigma", the entryway is 75 feet tall and encompasses a spiral staircase. The remaining walls are composed of 18-inch thick concrete, designed to protect the collection from hurricanes.
Dali's full name is Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquess of Dalí de Púbol. The flamboyant artist was a prominent Spanish surrealist born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain on May 11, 1904. He died January 23, 1989, in Figueres.
Featured in the Best of Minimalism group September 2018.
