Fine Art by Salvador Dalí, Roy Lichtenstein Available at Dane Fine Art

As part of its 45th year, Dane Fine Art’s upcoming sale features original artworks by leading artists worldwide. Among the top lots is a lithograph by Spanish Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, titled David’s Mourning at the Death of Saul. Starting in the 1950s, Dalí’s paintings were dominated by supernatural themes revealing his fascination with spirituality. The available work was published between 1967 and 1969 by Rizzoli-Mediolani in the Bible vulgatæ. In this piece, Dalí depicts David grieving over King Saul’s death. Despite its faint expression, David’s face reflects his sorrow and pain over losing the king. Toward the top right corner, a guardian angel stands close to David. It is dated and signed on the right margin of the plate.

Another notable fine artwork in the catalog is a 1969 color screenprint on Rives woven paper by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. This piece from Roy Lichtenstein’s The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is composed in a circular pattern. The poster is primarily colored in black, red, green, and yellow. The abstract design is in the Lichtenstein style of “comic book” and incorporates Ben-Day dots. Lichtenstein created this image as part of his very first solo exhibition and as a poster. This work is signed in pencil by Roy Lichtenstein and numbered in an edition of 250 in pencil at the bottom. Other key artists with works in the catalog include Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Louis Icart, Marc Chagall, and Salvador Dalí.
