ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Dali Museum will present more than 100 works on paper from the museum’s vault in Where Ideas Come From: Dali’s Drawings from May 27 through Oct. 22. Showcasing the artist’s utilization of various media, including pencil, pen, charcoal, watercolor and gouache, Dali’s Drawings will highlight Dali’s creative process throughout the many phases of his career. More than half of the artworks will be on view for the first time in 35 years and will rarely be displayed again due to their fragile nature. Through the support of donations from the community, the majority of the works featured in the exhibition were recently conserved — for the first time — in alignment with the Dali’s mission to care for and share Dali’s work and legacy.
