Signed and numbered Salvador Dali lithograph, 'Aliyah the Rebirth of Israel'. Limited edition 222/250 and signature in pencil at base. Frame measures 26 1/2" x 33", print measures 15 1/2" x 20 1/2". Purchased by estate in 1970 - 1971.
As found on Sotheby's: Limited edition—250 copies signed by the artist—of a famous portfolio of lithographs celebrating the Jewish people’s return to its historical homeland.
Commissioned in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the State of Israel’s independence in 1968, Salvador Dali’s “Aliyah, The Rebirth of Israel” suite portrays, in the artist’s signature Surrealist style, the history of ancient Jewish exile from, as well as modern Jewish immigration to, resettlement of, and struggle for, the Land of Israel. The original gouaches, unveiled at the Gallery of Modern Art (Huntington Hartford Museum) in New York on April 1, 1968, were converted into a limited lithographic edition, of which the present lot is an exemplar. In the words of Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, in his letter of introduction to the portfolio, “The distinguished artist Salvador Dali has succeeded through the power of his great artistry in embodying in a number of prints the marvel of aliyah, which in a short time fashioned a renewed people, a renewed country, and a renewed as well as renewing State.”
