Galleria Ca’D’oro recently held an opening reception to celebrate its latest exhibition, Endless Time, dedicated to the master of surrealism, Salvador Dalí.

The exhibition coincides with the debut of Galleria Ca’d’oro’s new location at 3580 San Lorenzo Ave., Suite 1505 (ground floor) in the Village of Merrick Park.

The collection features 15 bronze works with prices starting from $11,000, said Gloria Porcella, curator and owner of Galleria Ca’d’Oro.

On view through Jan. 31, the exhibition includes two stunning museum sculptures: the Snail and the Angel and the iconic melting watch for which Dalí is perhaps best known, the Nobility of Time.

Standing in the garden of the Village of Merrick Park is the highlight of the exhibition: Woman Aflame, which stands an imposing 11.8 feet tall.

The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Stratton Foundation for the Cultural Arts. The project has been managed by Ms. Porcella, in collaboration with Manuela Campisi and Melissa Sesana.
