Poèmes de Mao Tse-Toung — Salvador Dalí (1967)
One of the most unexpected and fascinating collaborations in 20th-century printmaking, Poèmes de Mao Tse-Toung pairs the revolutionary poetry of Chairman Mao with the surrealist vision of Salvador Dalí — two of the era's most provocative and polarizing figures, united on paper in a series of extraordinary original etchings.
Published in Paris in 1967 in a limited edition of 229, each work in the series is an original etching on Arches paper, pencil signed and numbered by Dalí himself. The portfolio comprises ten plates, each a distinct interpretation of Mao's verse — from the turbulent energy of Les Démons to the quiet grandeur of Montagne de la Paix — rendered in Dalí's unmistakable hand with wit, mystery, and surrealist depth.
Catalogued in the Field catalogue raisonné (67-1), these works are among the rarest and most collectible of Dalí's graphic output. Their scarcity, combined with the cultural audacity of the collaboration, makes them prized acquisitions for serious collectors of modern and surrealist art.
Each piece is presented framed at 19 × 15.5 inches, ready to display.
