The Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí has presented a Salvador Dalí work entitled Depart. Homage to Fox Newsreel dating from 1926. It has been received on temporary loan from a private collection, and is to be sent on to the Centre Pompidou this autumn for a major retrospective on Salvador Dalí.

On the occasion of this temporary loan, the Dalí Foundation has redesigned one of the spaces that make up the museum circuit at Torre Galatea, where another six works from the Dalí Foundation collection and directly related with this painting are also on exhibition: the painting Venus and Sailor and five drawings on the same subject-matter.

The installation can be seen until 28 October, in the Loggias Room at the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres.

Joan Manuel Sevillano received the “Don Quixote” award, as a recognition for the task he develops as Managing Director of the Dalí Foundation, promoting understanding between countries through culture.

It’s a recent iniciative led by the Russian públic Foundation “Russian Performance Art” with the collaboration of the Spanish Embassy in Russia.

The Dalí Foundation presented its Economic Impact Study for 2011, drawn up within the framework of a collaboration agreement with the University of Girona and the Catalan Institute for Research into the Cultural Heritage.

The authors of the study are Modest Fluvià (doctor in Economics and professor at the University of Girona), Ricard Rigall (doctor in Economics and tenured lecturer at University of Girona), Albert Saló (doctor in Economics and postdoctoral researcher at ESADE Business School) and Ferran Casas (research assistant).

Court order handed down for removal of the name, images and works of Dalí from the Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona, known as the "Dalí museum" in this city.

In a decision dated 12 June 2012, the Commercial Court no. 3 of Barcelona ordered the company Faber Gòtic, S.L. (managed by Juan Javier Bofill) to remove from the Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona located beside Barcelona Cathedral the name Dalí, photos of the artist and works said to belong to the collection of sculptures he made for Isidro Clot (known as the “Clot Collection”). The court decision likewise imposed a penalty on Faber Gòtic for acts of unfair competition by having created the impression that the exhibition had the backing of Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, on which count Faber Gòtic was ordered to pay an indemnity.

The fifth edition of the JazzPera Festival will again be held in three different  places, one being the Gala Castle in Púbol,  like in previous years. The concert will be offered on 9 June 2012, in the Castle's gardens.
