Gala Salvador Dalí is the first international exhibition dedicated to Gala, muse and artist who lived and worked with Dalí. Elena Ivánovna Diákonova, Gala, is also considered a key figure of the avant-garde of the twentieth century. This exhibition, curated by Estrella de Diego, shows the changes in the image of Gala through its different performances, reflected by Salvador Dalí's brushes; and also allows to know the evolution of the painter thanks to an important set of paintings and drawings.
In this exhibition you can see 315 works (paintings, drawings, photographs and documents related to Gala, including handwritten sheets of his autobiographical project), and an interesting set of letters, postcards and books that is exhibited for the first time, as well as dresses and personal objects of Gala.
Along with Dalí's paintings and drawings, there is also a selection of works by other artists related to the Surrealist universe and Gala, such as Max Ernst, Picasso, Cecil Beaton, Man Ray or Brassaï. The works come from the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, and from other eighteen important museums and collections, European and American.
Gala Salvador Dalí represents the first collaboration between the two institutions (MNAC and Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation), following the idea of the National Museum to work together with the large monographic museums.
