High end art business Good News
The wealthy continue to spend on high end goods without much concern over economic issues. This dovetails very nicely with art as an asset class and the recent reports of strength from the art market in 2011.
The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali Surrealism MOMA
The Persistence of Memory is a 1931 painting by artist Salvador Dalí, and is one of his most recognizable works. The painting has been in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City since 1934. It is widely recognized and frequently referenced in popular culture, TV, Film, print etc. The original also inspired the 1974 limited edition interpretation that adds a 4th clock to the original image and was referred to by Dali as "the clock of imortality" Here are images of both the original and the hand signed limited edition print as well.

Salvador Dali at Sothbys
Following on from the successful prices achieved by Sotheby’s for Surrealist works in recent sales, the auction includes An outstanding selection of Surrealist works .
Salvador Dalí’s iconic oil, Oasis, estimated at £4 - 6 million, holds a vital position in the Surrealist canon and was created at the height of his successful years in New York. With a sophisticated manipulation of form and imagery that distinguishes the artist's most successful compositions, Oasis presents a dreamscape with the inimitable sense of mystery particular to the artist’s mature works. Dalí described the composition as ‘The visible lovers. At the approach to the oasis, Apollo and Venus materialize in empty space. By grace of the desert flower, they rise into view from the aridity of the rock.’
