Surrealist photographic collages. 1962-1975. 4 dye transfer collages with applied elements, printed before 1989. 40 x 26,8 cm (sheets 59,8 x 45 cm) and 40,2 x 26,6 cm (sheets 60,8 x 51,2 cm). Signed and numbered “45/90” by the photographer in blue felt-tip pen in the lower margin and signed by Salvador Dalí in blue felt-tip pen in the lower right corner.

These collages were created in collaboration between the Spanish Surrealist Salvador Dalí and his secretary and close associate Robert Descharnes (1926-2014). Beyond managing Dalí’s intellectual property, Descharnes played a key role in documenting and interpreting the artist’s work, notably through publications such as The World of Salvador Dalí (1975), which features one of these collages on its cover. The group includes images of Gala Dalí, a tribute to Guillaume Apollinaire, and Dalí’s Venus de Cullero.
