The first book-object conceived by Dalí, in Marbella

The Engraving Museum will host until November 15 the exhibition 'Ten Recipes for Immortality,' the first fully conceived book-object by the artist Salvador Dalí and one of the most important acquisitions of the venue since its inception 34 years ago. The piece, for which the gallery has paid 40,000 euros, includes the carrying case designed by the Catalan artist. "The exhibition is a unique occasion, as few collections keep the complete portfolio because the works are usually sold separately over time," explains the museum director, Germán Borrachero. "Dalí used various printing techniques, including drypoint, gold leaf typography, and embossing, all with exquisite taste. It is a real luxury to have it in Marbella," Borrachero remarks about a work that the Catalan artist completed in the early years of the 1970s. Dalí's piece joins others by authors that the museum hosted last year, such as creators Julio González and Antonio López.
