Set of four ceramic tiles designed by Salvador Dalí in 1954. These pieces are part of the famous series of six motifs commissioned by Maurice Duché and produced by Cerámicas El Siglo in Onda, Spain.
Object History: In 1954, Salvador Dalí brought his dreamlike universe to ceramics, creating a series that has become a benchmark for 20th-century industrial and artistic design. Each tile features iconography characteristic of Dalinian surrealism, from solar symbolism to the cubist abstraction of musical instruments. Production was carried out under strict quality standards to preserve the intensity of the original pigments.
