The Greatest Artworks of
Salvador Dali

Works

Salvador Dali is one of the most relevant Surrealist artists of the 20th century. Dali produced a great number of works along his life and would be almost impossible to list them here.

He is the only artist who count with two museums. One Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A., and the other Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain.

Among the creations of Salvador Dali, there are more than 1500 paintings, some books illustrations, lithographs, drawings, sculptures, designs for theater sets and costumes, jewels and a number of other developments.
