Salvador Dali-“Etre Dieu” (Being God) First Edition 1985

This is an exceptional and rare item from a Limited Edition. 185/500. It makes a wonderful gift for a Salvador Dali fan or collector.

Surrealism for the ear.
Opera-Poem in 6 parts.
Concept by Salvador Dali, Music by Igor Wakhevitch
This six-part work features Dali as God, Brigitte Bardot as an artichoke and Catherine the Great and Marilyn Monroe doing a striptease. It has been published in a extremely rare 3 LP box-set by a Spanish label. It was rereleased in a regular 3CD box published by German-label Eurostar who subsequently went out of business, and there are few-to-no known performances of the work. Dalí painted "Self-Portrait" (1972) to mark the composition of the opera, which was later auctioned by the United States Customs Service after being seized from Colombian drug lords trying to use the painting to launder money.

This magnificent piece comes in a clear Acrylic Casing with Gold Lettering. A great collector's item!!!

The Box includes:

1 Blue Silk Portfolio containing a Famous Lithograph of Marilyn Monroe as Mao Tse Tung.
1 Blue Silk Bound Book of Poems and Libretto to the Opera by Salvador Dali and Spanish writerManuel Vazquez Montalban.
1 Blue Silk Portfolio containing 3 LPs, each with a different slip with a print of Marilyn Monroe as Mao Tse Tung.

There are some scratches on the Acrylic.

Overall Very Good Condition.

This item has been known to fetch as much as $10,000 dollars in auction.

All reasonable offers will be considered.
