Newton

Salvador Dalí.

“Master, if we are not going to work on the sculptures, I am going back to Madrid. I can’t afford to spend my days here watching you sign lithographs”. Thus, a relationship of many years between Salvador Dalí and our founder, Eduardo Capa, came to a standstill.

In his last years of life, Dalí was clear that he wanted to give the city of Madrid one last gift. To do so, he called Eduardo again. With a drawing on a piece of paper, they reconnected in order to carry out the execution of what was the last sculpture of the renowned Spanish artist during his lifetime. The Spanish genius was clear about what he wanted to execute and trusted Eduardo to turn it into reality.

In 1986 the circle was closed with the installation of the sculpture “Newton” in the current Salvador Dalí Square, which he was able to see it installed before his death.
