A rare and visually arresting complete portfolio from Salvador Dalí’s celebrated Myths series, executed during one of the artist’s most inventive and technically ambitious printmaking periods of the 1960s. Across sixteen compositions, Dalí reimagines classical mythology through his unmistakable surrealist lens—melding eroticism, dream imagery, mutation, anatomy, and symbolic transformation into a cohesive visual narrative.
The suite combines delicate drypoint linework with explosive passages of color and fluid gesture, creating a body of work that feels simultaneously ancient and modern. Octopus-like forms, dissolving figures, cosmic eyes, hybrid creatures, and fragmented anatomies drift through psychological landscapes that recall both Greco-Roman myth and Dalí’s own subconscious universe.
Dimensions: Horizontal sheets: 22.5 x 30 inches (57.2 x 76.2 cm); Vertical sheets: 30 x 22.5 inches (76.2 x 57.2 cm)
The set is sold UNFRAMED. Each work is presented in a simple contemporary wood frame with museum-style presentation to illustrate the approximate scale and wall presence of the full set.
A highly decorative and intellectually rich portfolio from one of the defining artistic minds of the 20th century. Ideal for collectors seeking a complete Dalí statement installation with strong architectural and curatorial presence.
