Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly an artist whose reputation and fame has sustained through decades of ever-changing art movements and trends. In fact, Dalí may be one of the few artists who is almost more famous as the artist, than the art themselves. His unique, eccentric personality, personal life, and aesthetic still influences culture to this day. As a true lover of art, Dalí's later years were dedicated to ensuring his art would be as accessible to the collector as possible, and recreated some of his most famous sculptures in smaller casts. These original works can now be viewed at Adelaide's very own architectural marvel: the D'Arenberg Cube. Here, Dalí's iconic bronze sculptures and graphic artworks take center stage amongst the equally intricate and marvelous D'Arenberg surroundings.
Step into a celebration of creativity as you explore 25 captivating sculptures and graphic artworks, each a testament to Dalí's enduring legacy as a titan of surrealist art. On loan from the Dalí Universe in Switzerland, this multi-million dollar exhibition offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the fantastical world of one of the 20th century's most influential artists, and potentially take your very own original Dalí home, for a surprisingly reasonable price.
Still, D'Arenberg is worth a visit in its own right. I would certainly argue that visitors should come for D'Arenberg, and stay for Dalí. Surrounded by the lush landscaping of the D'Arenberg vineyards in the McLaren Vale, and featuring a unique, interactive museum exhibition on the ground floor, panoramic views on the top floor, a delicious wine tasting experience, an eccentric yet fine-dining restaurant, and the world's most interesting bathrooms, the site is an experience worthy of a visit on any day, yet heightened and justified further by the current Dalí offering.
