Vintage Salvador Dalí exhibition poster for Galerie de la Colombe in Saint-Tropez, dated 26 March–31 August 1988.
The poster reproduces Don Quixote from Dalí’s Dalinian Horses series, created around 1970–1972. A fantastical horse and rider dominate the composition, surrounded by a distant castle, sketch-like figures and flowing forms in blue, black and gold. Bold gallery lettering completes this distinctive piece of French exhibition design.
Dimensions: 25.5 in x 18 in (70 cm x 50 cm)
Condition: yellowed tape marks and some light marks, 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.
