This original 1968 lithograph, Salvador Dali Shores of Freedom (On the Shores of Freedom), is part of the artist's Aliyah, The Rebirth of Israel portfolio, commissioned to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the State of Israel. The composition depicts the immigrant ship Eliyahu Golomb—bearing its name in both English and Hebrew along the hull—flying Israeli flags as crowds celebrate on deck and in the water below. Printed on heavy Arches paper bearing the publisher's watermark, this impression is hand-signed by Dalí in the lower right margin and numbered 159/250 on the lower left. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, the work carries a documented single-family provenance from its original gallery purchase in Rochester, USA, in 1968–1969 through to the Spiro family collection in Tel Aviv.
About the Artist:
Born in Figueres, Spain, in 1904, Salvador Dalí was a central figure of the Surrealist movement, renowned for his technical draftsmanship and dreamlike imagery. Beyond his iconic paintings, Dalí maintained an extensive and innovative printmaking practice throughout his career, collaborating with master printers to create thematic suites. In 1968, working from mixed-media gouache and watercolor studies, he produced the Aliyah series—twenty-five lithographs chronicling the Jewish journey from exile to the establishment of modern Israel. Today, works from this historic suite are held in major public and private collections worldwide, including the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
