Salvador Dali Museum exhibit

19 March 2012 / TODAY’S ZAMAN WITH WIRES, İSTANBUL

A selection of Salvador Dali’s well-known works is set to go on display in the Turkish capital this week, following its well-received stint this winter in İstanbul, Turkish news agencies reported this week.
The exhibition, a joint effort between Moscow-based exhibit organizer and art gallery inArtis Project and the İstanbul-based cultural events organizer Kült, will go on display Friday at Ankara’s Cer Modern museum of modern art, the Anatolia news agency reported. The show’s two-month İstanbul exhibition ended late last month at the Tophane-i Amire Cultural Center of the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.
Featuring a selection of 121 paintings, drawings and lithographs by the master of Surrealism, the exhibition presents Dali’s works under three headings: “Divine Comedy,” an allusion to Dali’s inspiration from Dante’s epic poem of the same name; “Traces of Surrealism,” a nine-piece series of lithographic color prints he made in Paris in 1971 regarded as exemplary of Dali’s symbolism and Surrealism; and “Dinner with Gala,” a portfolio of 12 colored lithographs also made in 1971, in which he depicts a surrealistic gastro-aesthetical story inspired from menus and recipes from famous restaurants and chefs.
Dali (1904-1989), best known for the striking and bizarre images in his work, was educated in fine arts and continued down his own path built upon this education. The prolific artist produced in a variety of media that also included film, sculpture and photography.
The exhibition will run until May 20 in Ankara, Anatolia said. Cer Modern is closed on Mondays.

Salvador Dali Art for Sale

The Salvador Dali Art market is going strong. There are many museum exhibits around the globe that prompt would be and experienced collectors to search for works by Dali that will fit thier budget. While Oil paintings and hand drawn original works might be out of reach for the average person, hand signed prints that have proper documentation are a good way to go. You can obtain a signed Dali print that dates back as early as the 1940's, all the way to 1980. After 1980 there were some facsimile signed prints created, but the best way is to find hand signed limited edition works. The downside of Estate sales is that the sellers do not tend to know how to authenticate and appraise the works and many of them do not know how to get in touch with the correct experts who specialize in Dali. You have to make sure you are ordering from a reputable dealer who has many years in the market. Retail is the most expensive, so when you visit a gallery, ask them what is the lowest price.

Salvador Dali & Ingrid Bergman οn thе set οf Spellbound (1945, dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
Bergman: “It wаѕ a wonderful sequence thаt really belonged іn a museum. Thе thουght fοr a major раrt wаѕ thаt I wουld become, іn Gregory Peck’s mind, a statue. Tο dο thіѕ, wе shot thе film іn thе reverse way іn whісh іt wουld appear onscreen…I wаѕ dressed іn a draped, Grecian gown, wіth a crown οn mу head аnd аn arrow through mу neck.”
