# When Surrealism Says “Welcome”: Dalí’s World in Three Dimensions (SD13 & SD14)

Parastone Museum Collection • Licensed by the Gala–Salvador Dalí Foundation

In the theatrical world of **Salvador Dalí**, sculpture greets the visitor and furniture becomes a face. Two icons from his Figueres _Dalí Theatre-Museum_—the gilded _Welcome Statue_ and the vivid red _Saliva-Sofa (Mae West Lips)_—translate Surrealist imagination into tangible form. Recreated in fine detail as SD13 and SD14 for the **Parastone Museum Collection**, these licensed replicas invite us to step into Dalí’s playful dialogue between the sacred and the everyday.

## The Golden Greeting: _Welcome Statue_ (SD13)

SD13 — Dalí’s _Welcome Statue_, a gleaming invitation to the Theatre-Museum.

The **Welcome Statue** stood as Dalí’s wry host: arms lifted in exaltation atop a black tire—a union of celebration and industry. Its Deco clarity and ceremonial pose hint at devotion, while the tire anchors the piece in modern material culture. Dalí’s message is clear: the marvelous can live inside the ordinary.

## The Lips of Desire: _Saliva-Sofa (Mae West Lips)_ (SD14)

SD14 — The famous red lips, inspired by Mae West, reimagined as a surreal sofa.

Dalí’s fascination with **Mae West** culminated in a room where her face becomes architecture: drapery as hair, a fireplace as nose, and a _sofa as lips_. The **Saliva-Sofa**—also known as the _Mae West Lips Sofa_—turns desire and perception into design. In miniature, its glossy crimson curves preserve the joke and the wonder of the original installation.

## Dalí’s Theatre of the Imagination

Seen together, SD13 and SD14 reveal Dalí’s stagecraft: a world where an entrance becomes performance and a sofa becomes a portrait. They compress the distance between object and idea, coaxing the viewer to meet Surrealism not only on the wall but in the round—at hand, at home, and always a little uncanny.

### About the Artist

**Salvador Dalí** (1904–1989) united classical technique with dream imagery to probe the subconscious. Painter, sculptor, designer, and showman, he expanded the definition of art across media—from canvas and film to furniture and architecture. These licensed replicas are produced with permission of the **Gala–Salvador Dalí Foundation**.
