ST. PETERSBURG – Beginning Sunday, Sept. 23, the Salvador Dalí Museum will welcome three important Dalí works on loan from the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation in Spain.
Presented in St. Petersburg for the first time will be “Group of Women Imitating the Gestures of a Schooner,” 1940, a work that signals Dalí’s growing interest in Baroque and Mannerist painting; “The Ascension of St. Cecilia,” 1955, a prime example of his nuclear mysticism; and “The Swallow’s Tail – Series on Catastrophe,” 1983, based on the mathematical “catastrophe theory” and considered to be the artist’s final work.
The borrowed works will be on display through January 20, 2008. The unique exchange between the organizations with the two top Dalí collections in the world also will send three paintings from St. Petersburg’s permanent collection to Spain.
