New Exhibit at the Salvador Dali Museum When: October 3, 2008 to January 11, 2009 Where: Salvador Dali Museum 1000 3rd Street S St. Petersburg, FL 33701 Two new exhibitions opening at the Salvador Dalí Museum this fall highlight the diverse ways Western and non-Western mythology enlivened Surrealism. Wifredo Lam in North America is the first U.S. exhibit in over 30 years to feature works by Lam, the celebrated 20th century Cuban-born artist. This national traveling exhibition organized by the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University represents the major phases in Lam’s career, with examples spanning from 1927 through 1972. The exhibit focuses on Lam’s impact on the development of modern art in America, tracing the way in which he combined aspects of the European avant-garde with Afro-Cuban myths and art forms, leaving a legacy of intercultural dialogue that remains influential to this day. Over 50 paintings and drawings, together with photos and letters, will be shown in the museum’s west galleries. In our east galleries, the Dalí exhibition, Myth in Dalí’s Art, features a selection of works from the museum’s permanent collection, which examine how Dalí used mythology to embody his fears and desires. Both exhibitions are on display October 3, 2008 through January 11, 2009.
