The Dali exhibition highlights the artists’ repeated use of botanical imagery alongside a surreal display of tropical plants in Selby Gardens Tropical Conservatory and Gardens. Photos of Dali’s beloved Catalonia by renowned nature photographer and local Sarasota County resident, Clyde Butcher, will showcase the extraordinary landscapes visible in several FlorDali pieces and in much of Dali’s art.
