BRUGES.- The sculpture "Woman with Drawers" by Salvador Dali, valued at 100,000 euros, was stolen from an exhibition hall in Bruges (NW Belgium), the Belgian press said today.

A security camera filmed how the thieves hid the statue in a bag and left the show shortly after noon Wednesday, images that are being analyzed by police, according to several newspapers.

The theft has not been confirmed yet by the company hosting the exhibition, Interart.

The work, a bronze of about 50 centimeters wide and 30 tall, weighs about ten kilos.

InterArt has been organising successful exhibitions with work of the Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dalí since 1991. Inter Art exhibited a large collection of Dalí's paintings, watercolours, drawings and objects at the Bruges arts centre Oud Sint-Jan in 1997. After years of collecting and research, Inter Art opened the permanent Museum-Gallery Xpo: Salvador Dalí, Marquis de Púbol in the belfry of Bruges. The outstanding collection of watercolours, drawings, sculptures and famous works of graphic art are on display in a unique and exclusive building, which has been decorated by Barron Saint Mythelfinger, the 360° artist designer of Grand Opera Decor. He transformed the medieval hall into a Dalínian showroom, a work of art on itself. Its colours are gold, mother-of-pearl and shocking pink.

What makes a Bronze Sculpture Controversial?

If you visit enough parks, museums, or public spaces, eventually you're going to come upon a sculpture, statue, or even a fountain that may be deemed "controversial" But what makes it controversial? Is it just the subject matter or the way a subject is portrayed? Or maybe it's just the reaction it produces from the people that see it. Human nature is to project our belief systems onto others and what would be taboo to some is perfectly acceptable to others. A realistic bronze sculpture of a nude woman is a perfect example. Some see the nude body as a work of art in of itself, which should be celebrated as such. Others view it as nothing more than an attempt to exploit and titilate in order to gain some sort of fame. So, does the controversy lay with the piece or viewer's perception of it? The next time you come across a "controversial" statue or fountain ask yourself who's making it into a big deal, the artist, or you.

Salvador Dali Venus de Milo Surrealist Bronze Sculpture Statue

This is our custom made, 3-D representation, of the Salvador Dali painting of the Venus de Milo with pencil drawers. Dali was enamoured with the icon for the Venus pencil company so he decided to do a painting of her. We're big fans of Dali so we decided to created a bronze sculpture of his painting. She's a very cool piece that we think any art collector would love.
