8 works across 1 institution

Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 8 works by Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Dalí's Surrealist canvases are technically meticulous even as they are wild in imagination — the smooth, almost photographic surface of his work rewards close inspection that reproductions don't allow. His paintings often contain details and symbols that only become apparent when standing directly in front of them.
