More Dali's Teatro Museo Figueras Inauguration Lithograph Posters (1974).

Dali's Teatro Museo Figueras
Inauguration Lithograph Poster (1974).

The search continues, now with three more posters recently added to my collection.  It appears that there were at least 20 different designs used to produce the lithograph posters for the Teatro Museo Figueras inauguration in September, 1974.  I now have five of them in my collection.  Here are the newest three.

The first features an image from the Twelve Tribes of Israel print suite (Field catalog #72-6, pp. 78-79) titled "Asher" (Aser).

Field notes that there were 3000 of these posters produced for the inauguration of the Teatre-Museu Dali de Figueras, suggesting that this poster is relatively common.

However, in my experience, this poster is quite uncommon.

The next image also comes from the Twelve Tribes of Israel print suite (Field catalog #72-6, pp. 78-79) titled "Dan."

It is quite a stunning image.  Notice Pegasus in the background.  Pegasus turns up in a number of Dali works from the early 1970's.  The crutch makes an appearance too--the only print in this suite to feature the crutch.

The final poster image also comes from the Twelve Tribes of Israel print suite (Field catalog #72-6, pp. 78-79) titled "Benjamin."  As with the Issachar poster, the full use of color over the entire image really frames the art within the poster layout.
 
Another relatively uncommon design.

Some people out there are trying to get hundreds of dollars for these posters.  Don't get suckered.  There's plenty out there for everybody at an affordable price.

I got each of these lithograph posters for fewer than $30 delivered.
