Until March 1, 2015, Ljubljana will be a magnet for all lovers of surrealist art. More than two hundred works by Salvador Dali, an artist whose name, together with his oeuvre, has become almost synonymous with the art of surrealism, are exhibited at the Gospodarski raštavišče.
The great surrealist artist Salvador Dali is certainly one of the biggest names in 20th century art. The Spaniard, born in 1904, once uttered the famous phrase, not at all modestly: "Surrealism, that's me!" Andre Breton, around whom Surrealist artists gathered in Paris in the first half of the twentieth century, had a key influence on the creation of the eccentric artist, who was considered a madman by many who did not understand him. Dali's work was especially fruitful in the 1960s, when he created the famous series of hundreds of woodcuts for the hundred cantos of Dante's Divine Comedy, which were also exhibited in Ljubljana during these months.

From the end of November to March 1, 2015, at the exhibition at the Economic Exhibition Center in Ljubljana, more than 240 Dali works, woodcuts made into lithography and plastic. The exhibition, which is intended for all generations, offers an insight into the course and creation of the works of art of this extravagant artist, which will surely make Ljubljana one of the main destinations for fans of surrealism from near and far during these months.
