A vintage French poster advertising the 1987 Salvador Dalí exhibition at Galerie de la Colombe in Saint-Tropez. It reproduces his dreamlike painting The Happy Unicorn, showing a pale blue unicorn with trees growing from its back and a flower at the tip of its horn.
Soft blue tones contrast with bold black lettering, creating an unusual piece of exhibition memorabilia from the French Riviera. The poster was issued during Dalí’s lifetime, two years before his death.
Dimensions: 25.5 in x 18 in (65 cm x 45 cm)
Condition: visible yellowed tape marks and residue around the margins, with some surface marks and edge wear. please see photos.
Salvador Dalí was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship and the striking and bizarre images in his work. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, sculpture, film, graphic arts, animation, fashion, and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays, and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. His life and work were an important influence on other Surrealists, pop art, popular culture, and contemporary artists.
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
