First impressions of the new Dalí Museum in St Petersburg
+best.gif)
The new Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida has now been
open for over two-years. The much-anticipated fantastical $36 million, 66,450 square foot museum doubled the
capacity of the previous 1982 building that I had the opportunity to visit in
February 2009.
+best.gif)
The original museum had opened in a renovated marine
warehouse March 7, 1982. According to a number of media accounts, the new
museum – which is the home of 2,140 pieces of Salvador Dali’s art, including 96
oil paintings and eight huge master works - opened on the auspicious date of
January 11, 2011 (1/11/11) at 11:11 a.m.

The museum in downtown St. Petersburg houses one of the most
extensive collections of the art of Salvador Dali in the world. It began in
Cleveland, OH, in 1942 where collecting Dali’s art was the lifelong passion of
industrialist A. Reynolds Morse, and his wife Eleanor Reese Morse.

As you approach the
HOK-designed museum, you are immediately impressed with the enormity of
what appears at first glance to be a huge introverted enigmatic cubist-snail on
steroids. The internationally recognized architect Yann Weymouth led the design
team.
The museum structure is a magnificent adaption to a site
with many design constraints, including but not limited to the fact that it
houses one of the foremost collections of art in the world in a hurricane zone,
just feet above sea level with a profound flood hazard…

According to information on the Dali Museum website, “The
museum’s exterior is itself a work of art, featuring 1062 triangular-shaped
glass panels. This geodesic glass structure – nicknamed the “Enigma” – is the
only structure of its kind in North America and is a 21st century expression of
Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome as utilized in Dalí’s Teatro Museo in
Figueres, Spain. No two glass panels are identical, providing a kaleidoscopic
view of St. Petersburg’s picturesque waterfront.

On Wednesday, February 20, 2013, I took advantage of the
opportunity to visit the new Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I had previously
had the opportunity to visit the Morse collection of Dali’s work in its former
location in February 2009 - http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2009/03/tentacle-spellbound-by-salvador-dali-by.html

Alas, sadly my winter schedules in the last number of years
have not included a visit to the Dali Museum, Tampa, and St. Petersburg or the
opportunity to seeing the local sights such as the Sunshine
Skyway – completed in 1987, it spans the mouth of Tampa Bay and is the
world's longest cable-stayed concrete bridge.
This year I was able to juggle my schedule to see what the
buzz is all about at what many are calling one of the world’s top-ten art
destinations.

After passing through the gift shop, visitors enter an open three-story
tall day-lit lobby and are immediately overwhelmed with the “The Helical
Staircase” a 75-foot tall spiraling set of stairs which ascends to the third
floor galleries where the bulk of the collection is housed well above even a
30-foot storm surge.
According to various accounts, the stairwell represents an
–energetic form created with mathematical precision, resembling a strand of DNA.
Much of Dali’s work is religious and Dalí recognized the helix as evidence of
the divine in nature…”

The Tentacle: Spellbound by Salvador Dali by Kevin E. Dayhoff March 25, 2009
Last month I enjoyed a bit of respite from Maryland’s winter by visiting Florida. Finding myself within reasonable driving distance of St. Petersburg, I jumped at the chance to visit the Salvador Dali Museum.
Located on the waterfront in Barboro Harbor, it is the “largest collection of Dali’s work outside of Spain,” according to Peggy McKendry, the assistant to the director of the museum.
The museum, which opened in a renovated marine warehouse March 7, 1982, is the home of 2,140 pieces of Salvador Dali’s art, including 96 oil paintings and eight huge master works.
This collection began in Cleveland, OH, in 1942. Collecting Dali’s art was the lifelong passion of industrialist A. Reynolds Morse, and his wife Eleanor Reese Morse.
[…]
In recent years, I have visited art museums – from San Diego, Salt Lake City, Anchorage, Boston, Washington, and Baltimore – and I found the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg to be one of the friendliest exhibitions I have ever seen.
Everyone from Ms. McKendry, to the extremely knowledgeable docents, and even the museum guards went out of their way to make sure you knew that the museum was there to serve, entertain, and educate.
Such accessibility is critical if you are to have a meaningful experience exploring 20th century contemporary art – especially the work of Salvador Dali.
[…]
While I was doing some additional research on Dali, after I visited the museum, I had the great fortune to talk with Dan Twyman, the senior art consultant for the “Salvador Dali Society,” in Redondo Beach, CA, the owner of the website, www.salvadordaliexperts.com and a volunteer expert for the website http://www.allexperts.com/ in the fine art category.
