Thursday
Opening: Dalí in America
Dalí Museum, DTSP
The Dalí Museum presents Dalí in America, an exhibition exploring how Salvador Dalí’s experience in the United States reshaped his artistic vision and sparked new ideas that resonated across American art and culture. This very special exhibition is presented during the 250-year anniversary of the nation’s founding. Featuring paintings, drawings, photographs and ephemeral materials from The Dalí Museum’s Collection and its Library and Archives, Dalí in America presents the artist’s discovery of what he called a “New World” filled with possibility, reflecting his vision of our country as a land of reinvention.
