Fine Art Los Angeles

While Florida is home to the Salvador Dali Museum, Los Angeles is home to the best known and most respected broker of works by the 20th Century Master Salvador Dali, The Dali Society.
Collecting prints, drawings or original works by Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Warhol has become difficult for the average person, but there is still time to own a work by Dali, and it doesn't have to break the bank.

Here is a link to one example: CLICK HERE

Once you move up to fine art and no longer buy art posters or low end decorative art, chances are you will never go back to low end. Make sure you have proper authenticity and appraisal when collecting works by masters. Secure all documents in a safety deposit box or fireproof safe in case you need to file an insurance claim. List all works with your homeowners or renters insurance, unless you have a large collection and need an art specific insurance policy. If you have any questions about collecting works by masters, you can call 310-533-1333 or follow this blog for weekly updates.

Salvador Dali Feature film



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. For more information or help obtaining rare works by Dali, call 888-888-DALI or 888-888-3254 ask for ext. 204 or Dan

Salvador Dali and Ingrid Bergman on the Set of Spellbound

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.”
