Wednesday, October 22, 2014 @ 10:44 AM
THE largest-ever exhibition of surrealist painter Salvador Dalí ever to be show in Latin America opened this weekend and will continue until the end of the year.
Arranged by the Salvador Dalí-Gala Foundation, the Reina Sofía museum in Madrid, and the Salvador Dalí Museum in St Petersburg, Russia, the display will include 164 works of art and 56 documents.
Starting from Dalí's work in the 1920s through to his final canvases, the exhibition - in the Brazilian city of São Paulo - covers most of the painter's career and shows the evolution in his technique and style over the decades.
Some of Dalí's best-known paintings on show in the largest metropolis in Latin America include Es Llaner, Cubist Self-Portrait, Portrait of My Sister, Atomic and Uranic Melancholic Idyll, Gala's Foot, and Topological Contorsion of the Female Form.
Works and documents have been lent to the so-called 'New York of the Tropics' by the three galleries organising the exhibition, which will be open until New Year's Eve.
