Salvador Dali - Take Two

‘This month, the organisers of an ambitious arts trail in the Shrewsbury are celebrating an unexpected coup. Three pieces made by Dalí are to play a starring role in this year’s trail – making their British debuts.
A well-known bronze sculpture, Surrealist Piano, made in 1954, is to take centre stage, currently in the castle grounds, while Dalí’s Homage to Terpsichore, seen here, and Dalínian Dancer, currently in the Dingle, will also feature.
Terpsichore, the muse of dance, was judged to be a fitting participant this year because the theme of the 2023 trail is “Movement”. Jess Richards, the organiser, chose the theme to mark the 350th anniversary of the birth of the Salopian choreographer and writer John Weaver, who was a key influence on British ballet and pantomime performance.
The Swiss-based custodians of one of the largest groupings of Dalí artworks, the Dalí Universe group, were also drawn to the theme of movement and so agreed to take part. The works they are to loan have an estimated joint value of £3.3m. ‘
