Description: Salvador Dalí, “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil" (Psalm23.4), plate 3, from Aliyah, 1968 In 1966, the publisher Samuel Shore of New York commissioned Salvador Dalí to produce a series of works by 1968, when their completion would celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel. Inspired by the historic challenges and post-World War II renewal of the Jewish people, Dalí created a series of 25 mixed-media paintings on paper that loosely trace major moments in Jewish history—both the tragic and the joyous—culminating in the creation of Israel in 1948 The paintings were shown in 1968 at the Huntington Hartford Gallery of Modern Art in New York. A limited edition (250) set of lithographs was made available for sale. My Uncle Mike, who lived in California, bought one of the sets, 194 of 250. He died in 1986, and my Aunt Lillian (I presume) had them framed in 1994 in Encino, Calif. This one has come down to me. I took it to a taping of the Antiques Roadshow in Littleton, Colo., in May 2024, where it was deemed by the appraiser to be "right," that is, the signature is old and original and the numbering is correct -- in other words, it's authentic. The print itself is in excellent condition. The frame is also in good shape, but the paper on the back is slightly torn on the edges.
