88 unpublished photographs of Salvador Dalí by Philippe Halsman on show
CNA / Marina López / Toni Bardia
Barcelona (ACN).– Unpublished photographs of the Surrealist Catalan painter Salvador Dalí made by Philippe Halsman are on show at the Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol, North of Girona and close to the Costa Brava. Dalí and Halsman had a friendship that lasted 37 years and the photographs reflect these close ties. The American photographer was popularly known for his serious portraits in 'Life' magazine, where a hundred covers carried his signature. Halsman showed his more transgressive side when he met Salvador Dalí. He left aside the photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Alfred Hitchcock, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Pablo Picasso to fully enter into an innovative project that sought to “shoot thinking” and reach a new concept of art.

Salvador Dali Sculpture
Next to the elevator in the Hotel Éclat, a 60-room boutique hotel in Taipei, stands a sculpture by Salvador Dalí.
“It can be quite surreal to stand next to the elevator, just inches away” from it, says general manager Roger Marten, who adds that in the two years since the hotel opened, the otherwise mundane spot has become a popular site for wedding photos.
The Dalí comes courtesy of hotel owner George Hwang, a Hong Kong-based entrepreneur — he built the city’s Parkview residential complex — and ardent art collector. It’s one of 25 original paintings and sculptures from his private collection, including some by well-known artists, on display in the Hotel Éclat. Click on the slideshow tab to see a few highlights:
