Description from the seller
SALVADOR DALÍ (1904–1989)
Frontispiece of The Life Is a Dream
1975
Original etching on Arches France paper, made for the suite The Life Is a Dream, inspired by the famous work of Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
The composition presents at the top an elaborate architectural and literary structure accompanied by surrealist calligraphic elements, while in the lower area there is a linear-sketched equestrian figure, characteristic of Dalí's graphic language. Dalí's signature incorporated into the plate.
High-quality paper with the watermark “ARCHES FRANCE” clearly visible and original deckle edges. The sheet retains wide margins.
Sheet measures: approx. 38 × 28 cm.
Technique: etching on Arches paper.
Date: 1975.
Series: The Life Is a Dream.
Signature: signature on the plate.
Reference: Field 73-1; related to the Michler/Löpsinger cataloging of the series.
Overall good condition, with the natural characteristics of the paper and its age.
Provenance: Enrique Sabater, friend and secretary of Salvador Dalí during his period of close collaboration with the artist, according to provenance provided by the owner.
An interesting example of Dalí's graphic production from the 1970s, particularly attractive for preserving intact the bifolio of the original edition and for its provenance.
