A stunning, investment-grade artwork by the legendary Surrealist master Salvador Dalí, titled "The Dentist", known natively as "El Dentista". This mesmerizing piece is a standout from Dalí’s highly acclaimed 1970 Professions of Man suite (sometimes referenced as The 11 Professions of Man), originally commissioned by Tobo Arte of Milan, Italy.
Unlike traditional paper works on paper, this striking luxury edition features a vibrant, multi-color serigraph screenprint executed directly onto a reinforced .925 sterling silver plated matrix. Dalí’s signature dreamlike imagery, intricate linework, and expressive forms translate magnificently into this unique metal medium.
The polished sterling silver background catches ambient room light beautifully, shifting in brilliance throughout the day. Because the full intended edition run was never completely realized, individual plates from The Professions suite remain exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by fine art collectors.
Presented in brand-new, premium custom gallery framing, this rare piece offers an incredibly upscale, conversation-starting aesthetic perfect for a luxury residential interior, an executive office, or a high-end dental practice gallery.
