Di Donna Galleries is thrilled to announce Dalí: the great years, 1929-1939 - a landmark exhibition devoted to the most radical and transformative decade of Salvador Dalí's career, opening Thursday, April 16th.

Between 1929 and 1939, Dalí produced the most psychologically raw, formally inventive, and revolutionary work of his life. In a single decade, he shattered the conventions of painting, collaborated with Luis Buñuel on films that scandalized Paris, designed for Coco Chanel, wrote a scenario for the Marx Brothers, and arrived in New York-where galleries, collectors, and the press transformed him from a Surrealist provocateur into one of the most famous artists in the world.

Dalí: the great years, 1929-1939, the most significant exhibition of the artist's work in New York since the 2008 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, brings together paintings, works on paper, and sculpture from major private and public collections-including the Dalí Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art-alongside archival material that traces Dalí's creative evolution across a period of extraordinary ambition and restless experimentation.

Organized chronologically, the exhibition charts Dalí's trajectory from Cadaqués to New York, foregrounding the city as a critical backdrop against which his singular artistic language and inseparable public persona emerged and endured.
