New Dali exhibition exclusively at Atlanta’s High

ATLANTA (AP) - A new exhibition of artist Salvador Dali’s late work is opening exclusively in Atlanta.

“Salvador Dali: The Late Work” focuses on the period from 1940 to 1983 includes several major pieces that haven’t been seen in the U.S. in half a century. It opens Saturday at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art.

Curator Elliott King says the exhibition works on many levels. Dali newcomers will get an introduction to the deep imagination and showmanship of the Spanish artist. Meanwhile Dali fanatics may find their perceptions of his late work challenged.

The exhibition will be at the High, its sole venue, through Jan. 9.
