Salvador Dali: Gardens of the Mind
Selby Gardens
Saturday, February 22, 2020
Join us in a very special, docent-led,
fourth annual exhibition in the
Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series at
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens to feature
Salvador Dali: Gardens of the Mind
It will include ten colorful photolithographs of flowers by Dali along with works from American photographer Clyde Butcher’s series Visions of Dali’s Spain. These artworks and the Dali-themed plant displays inspired by them will transform Selby Gardens into an evocation of Dali’s vision.
The Dali exhibition highlights the artists’ repeated use of botanical imagery alongside a surreal display of tropical plants in Selby Gardens Tropical Conservatory and Gardens. Photos of Dali’s beloved Catalonia by renowned nature photographer and local Sarasota County resident, Clyde Butcher, will showcase the extraordinary landscapes visible in several FlorDali pieces and in much of Dali’s art.
Registration to close at 45 attendees.
