High Museum of Art Atlanta features the first major exhibition of ‘Dali: The Late Work’, currently running now through January 9, 2011. Dali’s work after 1940 is astonishing, brilliant and provocative. It also renews a connection between the 20th century’s greatest surrealist and Alice Cooper!
Salvador Dali at the High Museum brings together one of the most important groupings of the artist’s later work to ever be shown and affords visitors the opportunity to see the evolution of the world’s best known Surrealist. The exhibit focuses on Dali’s art and his influence on artists like Willem de Kooning, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
Dali: The Late Work brings together a stunning collection of more than 40 paintings, a film, sculptures and photographs, some that have never been seen in public before. During the 1940s, Dali used his art to visually explore psychology, science and religion. One of the highlights is the ‘First Cylindric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper’s Brain’.
