This book is the first work dedicated exclusively to Dali, the sculptor and visionary. The artist's tridimensional work is shown in 683 illustrations, complete with information relative for each one, and a special description of the bronze sculptures. This book is much more than a "catalogue raisonné", it tells the story of Dali and space by Robert and Nicolas Descharnes, the recognized worldwide authorities of the works of the catalan painter. Assembled over 40 years, the archives of Robert Descharnes, photographer and friend of the artist, together with the images of the DESCHARNES & DESCHARNES photographic library, have made this 288 page
