Exhibits

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the first volume of Don Quixote de la Mancha, The Dalí presents Dali’s illustrations of this classic work of literature.

This exhibit reveals a mind laden with traditions yet heroically striving to demonstrate what else the world might be, organizing Dalí’s work into four persistent categories of obsession.

This exhibit is the only American showing of a landmark international exhibition presenting over 270 Salvador Dalí works in film, fashion, painting, photography and the first ever showing of Dali’s paintings for Disney.

This centenary exhibition is a retrospective of the permanent collection, outlining Dalí’s career from the formative years, his notable Surrealist period, and his later works.

In 1935 Dalí wrote of painting, as “instantaneous color photography done by hand…” For him painting aspired to photography, with the technique so refined that it erased the artist’s hand.
