Event Details
The National Arts Club presents a rare collection of work from Spanish surrealist, Salvador Dali. The month-long free exhibition, entitled Dali: The Golden Years, will celebrate its opening with a reception on Wednesday February 4th between 6pm – 8pm to which the general public is invited.
The exhibition will show 65 pieces in total, including early works that have never been shown before on loan from private collectors. Early drawings and prints make up three full collections including; 'The Les Chants Maldoror' (1934), '12 Tribes of Israel' (1971), and 'Memories of Surrealism' (1973). Each marks a major graphic series in Dali's career, while four never-before-seen pieces and an iconic photo of the artist himself by Anton Perich provide invaluable insight into Dali's creative process.
Early drawings and prints from the 1920’s and 1930’s have been drawn from the private collections of Dali’s friends, including NY art dealer, Walter F. Maibaum and art publisher and dealer, Lawrence Saphire. Of special note is a double-sided proof impression of Dali’s first etchings: “Head of a Young Girl” and on the verso, “Portrait of Dali’s Father" dated from 1924. Two important preliminary drawings for “Corpus Hypercubus” (1953) will also be included.
The exhibition will include critical commentaries by both Maibaum and Saphire. The National Arts Club takes pride in presenting iconic artists and their works to a wide audience, fulfilling its mission to educate, engage, and enrich its circle of creative-minded individuals. This exhibition will mark the second installment of the Fine Arts Winter 2015 program, and will provide a stunning compliment to prior significant exhibitions, from 2014's record breaking 'Charles James: Beneath the Dress,' to Rembrandt, Picasso, Munch, Romare Bearden, Goya and the world renowned husband/wife team of Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.
