Salvador Dalì, Disintegration of the persistence of memory, lithography, 50x65 cm, 1988

Lithograph by the Surrealist master Salvador Dali, re-proposing the subject of the unique work created in 1952.

"The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory" is a work created as a reworking of the "Persistence of Memory" of 1931. Here everything is flooded, the face we find in Persistence  becomes a fish: it transforms itself to survive this disintegration. For Dali, the fish is a symbol of life. The work alludes to the deformation of space and time by gravity, the deformation Einstein spoke about in his theory of relativity. 

Watermark on sheet BFK RIVES France infinity.

The work is signed in the lower right-hand corner of the plate and numbered CVIII/MM in the lower left-hand corner.

The lithograph bears the characteristic dry stamp of the publisher GDALI.
