About the show:

Commissioned by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, Figueres, Spain, in celebration of the centennial of the artist's birth, Dalí was a major retrospective exhibition. Over 200 paintings and three dimensional objects traced Dalí's career from early Cubist-inspired works, through his famous Surrealist phase and well into his Classic period after World War II.

Dalí was organized by the Palazzo Grassi, Venice and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with support from the Salvador Dalí Museum of Saint Petersburg, Florida, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid.
