ART TALK: SALVADOR DALI IN AMERICA

The surrealist artist Dali made his first trip to the U.S. in 1934 and promptly had successful exhibitions, worked in fashion and jewelry, and designed a pavilion for the 1939 World’s Fair. He collaborated with the Metropolitan Opera, but also Hitchcock, Disney, and the Marx Brothers. Like many European artists he spent the war years in exile in the U.S., and later returned to NYC for new adventures. Presented via Zoom by art historian Sylvia Laudien-Meo.
