ST. PETERSBURG (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 13th October, 2021) Seventy pieces of art, including several that have never before left the premises of Salvador Dali's Theatre-Museum in Spain, will be featured in Russia's St. Petersburg exhibition, with a focus on Dali's Russian-born wife Gala, the director of the Dali Museums and a curator of the exhibition, Montse Aguer, told Sputnik on Tuesday.

The exhibition's curator said the personality of Gala (Elena Ivanovna Dyakonova) was the main focus of the event, stressing that the exhibition could become the first step in further researching the influence of Gala and the "Russian world" on Salvador Dali, according to Aguer.
"We brought here absolutely unique things. We will be happy to present the paintings such as "Atomic Leda" and "Galatea of� the Spheres ", they have not left Spain for over 15 years, "Galarina" never left the museum after Dali's death," chairman of the board of The Link of Times foundation, and director of the Faberge Museum, Vladimir Voronchenko, said during a press-conference ahead of the opening.
