Hi all,
As some of you will know, I also really enjoy my art. A few years ago iwas in New York, and happened to see Salvador Dali's suite of works illustrating Alice in Wonderland. Was I impressed? Absolutely, but I didnt think much more of it - partially because (shame on me) I had never read Alice, and partially because the salesman didnt do a very good job.

Two years ago, I finally got around to reading Alice and discovered what an absolute cracker of a book it is. Ever since then, my mind has occasionally wandered back tothat NYC gallery. Doing more research, I discovered that it was a limited edition of 2500 books, each one with 13 pictures by Dali - one for each chapter. So you arent just getting the pictures, you are also getting a rare book.

So, earlier this week, they arrived. I won't insert all of the images. Here is one

Dude was out there, wasn't he?

What else do you have in your art collection?

 

Good for you! Was it difficult to find one for sale?

Not really. There are a few galleries that had one in stock.

 

Congratulations! That is a very nice piece.
