One of the Dali bronzes is ‘Surrealist Piano, ’ a five-metre tall, monumental piece, conceived in 1954 and first cast in 1984. The artist transformed a piano by replacing the traditional legs with those of human dancers, booted and capped by a frilled skirt. Perched on top of the piano is a golden ballerina who reaches out in a way that mirrors the shape of the piano lid.
