The 3rd Dimension: The 1st World Exposition of Holograms

New York: M. Knoedler & Co., Inc., 1972. First edition. This is a near fine copy. Boldly illustrated (as one would expect), the soft covers present Dalí alongside Nobel Laureate Dr. Dennis Gabor (who contributes a foreword) in 3D. There are some very light surface marks present. Dalí's signature is boldly signed to the front fly leaf in a magenta ink, which incidentally matches that of the font, and front cover design. The signature spans two pages, with Dalí accentuating the first letter 'D', swirling it into a spiral. It is dated seven years after the exhibition (1979). This is a scarce catalogue, more so with the great surrealist signing it so boldly and is, overall, in near fine condition.

An exhibition catalogue, which describes and illustrates the artistic processes Dalí experimented with at the time. "All artists have been concerned with three dimensional reality since the time of Velasquez, and in modern times, the analytical cubism of Picasso tried again to capture the three dimensions of Velasquez. Now with the genius of Gabor, the possibility of a new Renaissance in art has been realized with the use of holography. The doors have been opened for me into a new house of creation."
