It’s believed by many art experts (historians) that Dali and other renowned artists, painted several versions of his art (sometimes on canvas) and also painted the same images on paper and other mediums. Those pieces created on paper, whether as drawings or painted using tempera and/or gouache, were often thought to be studies prior to the original oil on canvas painting. Provenance: Private New York Physician’s Estate. This is a beautiful piece of Dali’s surrealistic and expressionism period of painting. Although it’s not known if the artwork was ever formally authenticated, after inheriting the artwork, the consignor was told by world-recognized art historian, James Beck (at Columbia University, NY, NY), that the artwork appeared as a “wonderful original example of Dali’s distinct surrealistic style.” Bid with confidence and to the winning bidder, you’ve captured a superb piece of Dali’s artistry. Congratulations!
