Hey Jack!
Freude und Gotterfunken!..! ✨💫💫💫 😀
Salvador Dali started this piece,
in connection with the U.S. Bicentenial,…in 1976.
The ‘final’ piece,…is actually a STATUE!
Really!..!
I’ve only seen it once(!),..
I have often told others about it,..
but never been able to find the pudding!
The Statue, is a stone,..marble(?), three dimentional piece
…..’a nude’.
..a bit bigger then an ‘Oscar’.
When you look at it thru the bottom of a glass,..
empty glass (☺️),..
at the distance of a few yards,..
you see Uncle Abe’s profile!
I saw the piece, in an art gallery, in Washington D.C.,
in 1977.
Supposedly, there were only few,..’authorized productions’.
Everyone I’ve told this about,..
usually,
….offered me “another glass”. 😕
Thanks for showing this.
I’m going to track down the statue now! 👍
Have a nice one. 💋
I couldn’t find a statue, but I did find this:
