Dali | Baby Sumo Edition

Important Judaica

Salvador Dalí Aliyah Portfolio Description Limited edition—number 74 of 250 copies signed by the artist—of a famous portfolio of lithographs celebrating the Jewish people’s return to its historical homeland. Commissioned in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the State of Israel’s independence in 1968, Salvador Dali’s “Aliyah, The Rebirth of Israel” suite portrays, in the artist’s signature Surrealist style, the history of ancient Jewish exile from, as well as modern Jewish immigration to, resettlement of, and struggle for, the Land of Israel. The original gouaches, unveiled at the Gallery of Modern Art (Huntington Hartford Museum) in New York on April 1, 1968, were converted into a limited lithographic edition, of which the present lot is an exemplar. In the words of Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, in his letter of introduction to the portfolio, “The distinguished artist Salvador Dali has succeeded through the power of his great artistry in embodying in a number of prints the marvel of aliyah, which in a short time fashioned a renewed people, a renewed country, and a renewed as well as renewing State.” Physical Description 24 of 25 colored lithographs (approx. 25 3/8 x 19 5/8 in.; approx. 644 x 497 mm) on Arches wove paper, each sheet signed by the artist and numbered in pencil; two lithographs (“The Land Come to Life” and “The Land of Milk and Honey”) backed on cardboard. Lacking “The Pioneers of Israel” lithograph; four lithographs somewhat toned; light, intermittent foxing and spotting; sporadic, minor creasing. Aqua-colored linen-covered folding case with title and artist’s signature lettered above and below a reproduction of one of the gouaches; front cover somewhat warped; corners worn; two corners starting; scattered staining; metal clasp catching on fore-edge. Accompanied by a booklet containing a letter of introduction by David Ben-Gurion, an essay on the history of aliyah by Gerson D. Cohen, and a catalogue of the 25 lithographs.
