TASCHEN presents DALí

Salvador Dalí has become synonymous with Surrealism. His soft watches, burning giraffes, and lobster telephones are like a natural language of dreams. But there are many more surprises hidden in his work.

This sweeping overview combines two volumes: a Baby-SUMO-sized book with illustrations of Dalí’s key works in a size and detail never before seen in print, showing every touch of the artist’s exquisite brush. This is accompanied by a chronology volume of year-by-year texts, written by Montse Aguer and Carme Ruiz from the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in the artist’s hometown of Figueres.

Reflecting the latest research, they tell the story of art and artist with many quotes from his own writings, letters, and contemporary reviews, illustrated by rare and iconic portrait shots, magazine articles, sketches and book illustrations, as well as additional works in different media.
