The works in the Collection are by Salvador Dal\u00ed, although there are also works by other artists that he collected or selected to be part of his museums. These works can primarily be seen at the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum in Figueres, although some are preserved or form an intrinsic part of the house-museums in Portlligat and P\u00fabol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The works come from the personal collection that the artist donated for the creation of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum, inaugurated on September 28, 1974. Among these are iconic paintings such as Self-Portrait with Raphael Collar<\/em> (c.1921), The Specter of Sex Appeal<\/em> (1934), Galarina<\/em> and The Basket of Bread<\/em> (1945), and Gala Placidia<\/em> (1952). Salvador Dal\u00ed\u2019s museographic project included installations like The Rainy Taxi that were created specifically for it. Works by artists close to him, such as Antoni Pitxot and Evarist Vall\u00e8s, can also be seen, while the Masterpieces Room houses works by El Greco, Marcel Duchamp, Ernest Meissonier, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Mari\u00e0 Fortuny, Modest Urgell, and Gerard Dou, all important references for the artist. Additionally, since 1991, the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation has carried out an intensive acquisition policy of Dal\u00ed\u2019s works aimed at enriching the Collection, with the goal of fostering a better understanding of the artist\u2019s career, thought, and life. One of the most notable acquisitions was the jewelry collection purchased in 2000, the result of collaboration with the American jewelers Alemany & Ertman. Among the most recent acquisitions are some works from the Surrealist period that allow exploration of Dal\u00ed\u2019s true contribution to the movement that launched him onto the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
