Palladium Ahmedabad Unveils Iconic Art Installations by International Artist, Salvador Dali and Veer Munshi

Ahmedabad: Phoenix Mills Limited, one of India's top developers, is known for showcasing art across its properties. Their malls feature everything from world-class art installations to offering experiences that go beyond shopping.

As an extension of their dedication to furthering the art movement in the country, The Palladium, Ahmedabad, India’s latest luxury mall, announced the unveiling of two iconic art installations. The installations, Salvador Dali's ‘Horse Saddled with Time’, a piece of art recently acquired at a prominent auction in Singapore. and Veer Munshi's ‘The Golden Deer’, exemplify the mall’s dedication to art and culture

About ‘Horse Saddled with Time'

Salvador Dali's ‘Horse Saddled with Time’ is a dynamic and thought-provoking sculpture that captures the essence of Surrealism. This masterpiece stands as a testament to its global recognition and unparalleled value. The horse is rearing on its hind legs, frozen in a moment of time, while a melted clock sits on its back. The clock is a symbol of the passage of time, and its juxtaposition with the horse suggests the fleeting nature of existence. Like watches and clocks, horses were very important to Salvador Dali. They showed up in many of his works in different colours and shapes. This bronze figure, which Dali first thought of and cast in 1980, combines ideas that were still important to him. The watch saddle represents time, and the smaller, melted clock hanging next to the horse shows how he changes time in many ways.

Dalí first made a horse model out of wood, and then he used his fingers to shape a wax model of the horse. The hand marks that show up where the wax is shaped in the horse's mane can be seen in the bronze sculpture.

Displaying Dali's Horse in the mall stands as a crowning achievement and a source of collective pride and inspiration for everyone associated with the establishment, Showcasing a shared commitment to excellence and artistic distinction.

About ‘The Golden Deer’

Veer Munshi's ‘The Golden Deer’ is a majestic and awe-inspiring installation that stands at over 17 feet tall. The deer, made of bronze, is covered in a layer of gold leaf. Its antlers are depicted as a Plumeria tree, with multiple flowers spreading out like an umbrella. The Golden Deer, stands out with its style and beauty and brings an unexpected sense of wonder and positivity. In the same way, the Champa flower represents beautiful corners of the city. It skilfully creates an engaging contrast for viewers, which brings a strong experience to space. Conceptualised and curated by the Ruby Jagrut and brought to life by the well-known artist Veer Munshi, it shows how art can surprise, move, and excite people. The deer is a symbol of grace, beauty, and harmony, and its installation at Palladium Ahmedabad is a reminder of the power of art to transform and inspire.

Rashmi Sen, COO, The Phoenix Mills Limited, said, “Ahmedabad, a city steeped in heritage and thriving modernity, has always held a special place in our hearts. In the midst of this vibrant setting, the unveiling of this exquisite artwork finds its perfect synergy with the illustrious brands that grace our halls, creating a harmonious blend of artistic allure and premium retail indulgence.
