Salvador Dali is once again being talked about at high end auctions. Museum exhibits continue to be announced globally. Dali seems to be gaining momentum as record prices and sales are being talked about in the news. Dali's wife Gala and the Surrealists Group are also being talked about as current or modern day artists and performers seem to be using quite a few of the Surrealists ideas to promote themselves in the 21st century music, film, tv and print publication worlds. As Dali is permanent fixture at the major museums of the world, you will continue to hear good things about this 20th Century Master.
