A Deity of Surrealism watches over Beaubourg, the site of Centre Georges Pompidou and many other cultural venues... I am Surrealism...

Actions Performances Happenings 1965-1975
I was accompanied by friends who believed that they had seen all the Dalí available, until we entered the exhibit hall.
My companions claimed to have experienced an inordinate amount of Dalí in both his family home in Figueres, Empordà region, Catalonia, Spain, and Cadaquès, his family summer home.
A large number of works came from permanent collections in Madrid, such as that of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, as well as private collections.

I was immediately impressed by the knowledge that I would have to return at least once in order to appreciate this complex collection of pictorial art, sculpture, as well as large screen versions of film, performance art, even commercials. His work is extremely difficult to absorb in one sitting as it is so diversely and entertainingly detailed in each piece.
Dalí sold both Alka-Seltzer and chocolate, effectively, and thankfully not at the same time.
