Beniamino Levi dedicated his entire life to collecting Dalí artworks. He is not only a world recognized expert on Salvador Dalí and Modern art, he was there when it all happened.
In the 1960s, Mr Levi held a Surrealist exhibition at his gallery and
was introduced to Dalí. He frequently travelled to see Dalí at his many residences in Paris, New York and his home in Spain. Fascinated by some early Dalí sculptures he had found and bought from a Paris gallery, Mr Levi encouraged the Surrealist master to once more express his artistic vision in sculptural form, commissioning Dalí to create a series of bronzes based on the artist’s most famous Surrealist images.
Mr Levi worked closely with Dalí on this bronze sculpture project and
is known worldwide as a leading Dalí expert on the Dalí Bronzes. He has lectured and written often on the subject, and has published a definitive book on the Dalí Sculpture Collection ‘Dalí in the Third Dimension’, with the Italian publishing house Allemandi.
It is as a result of those early meetings with Dali during the 1960s that Levi came to be a publisher of Dalí sculptural editions, and he began to build the Dalí Collection which today, over 50 years later has grown into the immense collection of artworks managed by the Dalí Universe.
The Dalí Universe collection of artworks has been continually evolving over the past 40 years. As well as amassing this important collection of artworks, unique in nature, Mr. Levi has curated over 100 critically and publicly acclaimed exhibitions worldwide, attracting over 12 million visitors during the last three decades.
