DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 5, 1965. Dali agrees to loan his painting "Spectre of Sex Appeal" to "The Gallery of Modern Art including the Huntington Hartford Collection" for an upcoming "Dali Exhibition," with an insurance valuation of $30,000. Signed at the conclusion by Dali, "Salvador Dali," who also adds the date. In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner. Accompanied by an original 8 x 10 silver gelatin photograph showing Dali with a few of his works. Today, the "Spectre of Sex Appeal"—a diminutive oil on panel, painted by Dali at age 30—resides in the Teatro-Museo Dali in Figueres, Spain. The painting shows Dali as a young child on the shores of Cap de Creus, staring up at a horrifying disemboweled female figure propped up by rickety sticks. It is a classic mind-bending Dali painting, exemplifying the psychosexual underpinnings of his work.Format: DS
