This original signed lithograph by surrealist artist Salvadore Dali (1904-1989) is titled " La lumiere de la guerion" or "The Light of Healing". It is from his series "L' Aventure Medicale" which highlights the medical professions. In the work, a dentist shines his bright light upon the subject in his chair - the light of healing. Signed in pencil below the litho impression, and marked A/P for artist's proof. Undated, but this series was created in 1980. The piece is framed in a copper-colored wooden frame with a black interior edge and a grey-blue wood fillet. The work is unmatted and lies flat. Has bumpers and a wire to hang from in back. A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies the lithograph, from Renaissance Fine Art Galleries, dated 03/03/82.  Condition: Very good condition for age. The litho lies flat in the frame under glass. The inked surface appears colorful with no soil or imperfections. Some fading may have occurred due to age. There are two areas of faint soil at the paper periphery - faint marks on the upper edge and even fainter at the lower border near the frame. The frame itself has nicks to edges and corners. Black letters appear on the glass at the right edge - these are scoring marks on the glass, not on the litho.  Frame Size: 24.5" x 32.5", Art Opening (unmatted): 21" x 29.5", Color Litho Image: 17-7/8" x 22-7/8" Please see our photos for additional details. Another signed Dali lithograph from this series, "The Doctor", is framed in an identical frame and is in lot 10 of this auction. Check it out!
