De La Cruz's Dali
What would Salvador Dalí have made of Art Basel Miami Beach? Miami collector Rosa de la Cruz ponders the question as a 1955 portrait by the Spanish surrealist of her mother-in-law, Dolores Suero Falla, takes centre stage in the show “Anchored in Surrealism” which opens in the Cruzs’ Miami space this week. She stresses how Dalí would have savoured his moment in the Florida sun. “He’s so 21st century,” she ruminates, adding that the Vermeer-inspired piece looks dandy alongside Ugo Rondinone's 52 mirrored windows (Clockwork for Oracles, 2008). The striking Dalí has, until now, been housed at de la Cruz residences in Havana, New York, Madrid and Washington, DC; it returns to the US capital from next March for a four-month stint at the National Portrait Gallery.
