Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí may have led a bizarre life, but his cultural impact in the 20th century can’t be overstated. In 1942 the artist published his autobiography, “The Secret Life of Dalí,” in which he details his many exploits and rare ideologies. Thanks to his prose—a highly detailed style that layered words the same way as paint—the book rose to international acclaim. This rollerball pen is engraved with Salvador Dali's signature on the top of the cap and an illustration from his internationally acclaimed autobiography The Secret Life of Dali, published in 1942. In tribute to the book and Dali's legend, Montegrappa created 270 limited edition pieces. A resin body engraved with one of the many illustrations from the book.
