Salvador Dali at the High Museum
Dalí: The Late Work
August 7, 2010 through January 9, 2011 The High will be the sole venue for the first exhibition to focus on Dalí's art after 1940. The exhibition, featuring more than 100 works including 40 paintings and a related group of drawings, prints and other Dalí ephemera, will explore the artist's enduring fascination with science, optical effects and illusionism, and his surprising connections to artists of the 1960s and 1970s such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Willem de Kooning.

Salvador Dali name used on Warehouse 13 TV show
The #1 show on SyFy channel is Warhouse 13.
Last nights episode was about a photographer who (fiction) knew Man Ray and possesed the camera Man Ray used in his work. (Surreal photography)
In the show, the main female character Myka is the victim of a man who used Man Ray's camera to steal her youth and give it to a wealthy old woman, leaving Myka a bed ridden senior citizen. The camera had the ability to transfer youth and age between two women. Man Ray used female models in many of his works, so it is fitting that the TV show used runway models as a part of the story line.
During the show, the name Salvador Dali was mentioned because Dali and Man Ray knew each other and it was clear that Man Ray was the Dali of the photography world.
I won't be surprised if the story line for a future episode of Warehouse 13 is about a Dali paintbrush that can create a surreal world. If the writers have not thought of that yet, they are welcome to use the idea!
Dali, Man Ray and friends.
