La Colección Privada

June 9 through August 29, 2009

Back to the Picture Latin American Gallery is pleased to present our Colección Privada.  Featuring works in multiple media, Back to the Picture’s Private Collection includes original and limited-edition pieces by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Jorge Aguilera, Calixto Robles, Otto Aguilar, Roberto Matta, Leonor Fini, Frederico Castellón, Alvar, Marino Marini, and many more.  With photography, color lithography, serigraphy, paintings, pastels and linocuts, Back to the Picture’s Colección Privada is an ecclectic collection of noteworthy works of art spanning from the mid-20th century to the present, with an emphasis on Latin American and Spanish artworks.

Currently, we are featuring six pieces from Salvador Dalí’s Les Songes Drôlatiques de Pantagruel, a bizarre series of color lithographs depicting varying visions of depravity and sensuality rendered as only Dalí could.  Bordering on obsenity and perversion, Les Songes Drôlatiques de Pantagruel is a highly collectible series of images created in the early 1970’s by Dalí.

Make a visit to Back to the Picture’s Latin American Gallery a part of your day the next time you’re in San Francisco’s Mission District.  Located at 934 Valencia Street between 20th Street and Liberty Street in the trendy Liberty Hill Historic District, Back to the Picture is conveniently located amongst great eateries, bookstores, galleries and bars, all within walking distance of the Mission Bartlett Garage, on 21st Street between Valencia and Mission Streets.  Walk the Mission and park without fear of tickets at the Mission Bartlett Garage.
