Excerpt from recent article:
Salvador Dalí's at the High Museum. Unlike some of the museum's other recent megashows, the fresh perspective on America's favorite surrealist has been lauded by critics and audiences alike. The museum reached capacity at the opening and at several subsequent Dalí-inspired events. Patrons had to be turned away at the door. The man with the funny mustache, it seems, appeals as much to the suburban rank and file as he does to New York Times art critics. By all measures, Dalí: The Late Work has been a runaway success.

27" x 30" archival paper.

Today: Rare
Custom hidden watermark from the original publisher on each sheet.
Description: Dali had a unique perception of the world. Dali kept up to date on the
latest scientific technology.
When Dali imagined the future, it was not his best guess based on Science Fiction.
Most people can only draw conclusions from science fiction films and literature.
There are published photographs of Dali as a youth, with a
science book tucked under one arm.
Dali spent many years studying the subject.
Dali's opinions and predictions for the future, we based on his extensive
studies of Math, Science, Biology and other subjects.
Some of todays leading scientists predict biological gardens will become a regular part
of cityscape rooftops, as we begin to change the way we live to alter our climate.
This is one of many cases where Dali hit the mark.
You can clearly see a series of U shaped crutches in the image, as they hold
lines with hanging vegitation.
The crutch is a well known Dali Icon, taken from a work titled: Sleep (1937 oil)
According to Dali the act of sleeping was a sort of monster sustained
by the crutches of reality.

This work can be shipped unframed flat with protective backing, or
framed in a new museum style frame.

And a few others that are too...well, I'd have to give the blog a new rating
in order to add them.
