Dali Exhibition 1999: The Salvador Dali Museum Collection and Selected Works

This is an extensive retrospective held to mark 10 years since the passing of the Spanish painter Salvador Dali, a representative figure of Surrealism. Primarily focused on the permanent collections of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, US, the show covers his early works to the Surrealist period of the 1930s and post-war large-scale works, disclosing the life of Dali who explored the world of unconsciousness in human minds. It is the largest exhibition in scale held outside the US so far, that displays collections from the Salvador Dali Museum, featuring 34 oil paintings, including The Ecumenical Council, which measures 3m x 2.5m, drawings, watercolors, three-dimensional objects, prints, and more. Screening of the film Un Chien Andalou and other events are scheduled during the exhibition period.
