Artists/Paintings

Postby Agent Cooper » Sat Apr 24, 2004 10:07 am

Don't know how many of you are interested but this is my favorite. Hallucinogenic Torreador,
Salvador Dali

This painting is actually 15' by 10' wide. It is on display in Clearwater , Fl at the Dali museum. Very impressive in person. Enjoy.


Sorry. Salvador Dalí Museum, Inc., Saint Petersburg, Florida

Dali had some interesting work. As a dealer myself of prints, and the recent upswing of Art Deco, i am finding a lot of the commercial work and artwork out of France from the early 1900's to 1950's to be very interesting.

Salvador Dalí
February 16 - May 15, 2005
This exhibition will consider all aspects of the artist’s long and controversial career. On view will be a vast array of Dalí’s highly influential Surrealist paintings, as well as his early Cubist-inspired works and later experiments with optical illusions and perspective. Over 200 works of art will be on view, many of which will be shown in the United States for the first time.

Philadelphia Museum of Art


I beleive this exhibit will be touring the country. I'm not sure what other cities it will be visiting.

Murgatroyd, nice. Do you know if its on display anywhere, or is it privately owned?

According to Google it's in the Prado in Madrid. Are you an international art thief Cooper?
