Here are a few images of the Dali event that took place at the Wentworth galleries in both Boca Raton and Las Olas in South FL, featuring works from the "Argillet Collection". Photos were actually not allowed, but I managed to snap a few anyway... Hope you enjoy them!



Below are some images of the actual pieces:

One of my favorites, part of the "Mythologie" suite:





And two stunning original drawings (going for $300K+):






Madame Argillet signing the back of our piece (if you look closely, on the back of the photo you can see a framed image of her as little child, taken in 1957 in Port Ligat, Spain, with Dali being his usual self and playing the Don Juan):

Esteban, it looks like you and your wife had a wonderful time! What a great way to spend a Saturday by enjoying some great artwork by one of your favorite artists. There's nothing quite like being able to see, in the flesh, actual pieces done by a master. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures with us. I'm glad you didn't get into trouble for taking them...

What a treat for you to meet Madame Argillet. I hope she was able to spend some time with you and tell you a few stories about Dali. I can't imagine what it would have been like growing up around him. I found this photo of the two of them that I wanted to share.
