October 17, 2025 – February 1, 2026

Scientific direction by Montse Aguer, curated by Carme Ruiz González and Lucia Moni, organized by the Fondazione Roma in collaboration with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí and with the organizational support of MondoMostre.

The exhibition Dalí. Revolution and Tradition showcases a selection of more than 60 works, including paintings and drawings, accompanied by photographic and audiovisual documents. It offers insight into the artist’s creative universe and his profound connection with the great masters of both the past and his own time.

Dalí’s artistic output, from his early years to his final works, constantly shifts between two seemingly opposing poles: revolution and tradition. He approaches the masters of the past with deep admiration and fascination. Velázquez, Vermeer and Raphael are the artists that Dalí deems his favourites. Yet one cannot overlook another figure — his contemporary and compatriot — with whom Dalí had an ambivalent relationship: Pablo Picasso.

The exhibition, realized by Fondazione Roma in collaboration with Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí and with the organizational support of MondoMostre, is curated by Carme Ruiz González and Lucia Moni, under the scientific direction of Montse Aguer. The project brings together works from Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí and other prestigious international institutions, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza.
