A surrealist masterpiece by Salvador Dalí, Couple aux têtes pleines de nuages (1937), will lead Bonhams Impressionist and Modern Art Sale in London on 26 March. The work, which has never before been offered at auction, comes from the collection of the Italian Modernist composer Giacinto Scelsi. It has an estimate of £7, 000, 000 – 10, 000, 000. Dalí created Couple aux têtes pleines de nuages (1937) during the Spanish Civil War and at the height of his surrealist period (1929-1939).

All of these images relate to certain Freudian undercurrents often seen in Dalí’s key surrealist works. India Phillips, Global Head of Bonhams Impressionist and Modern Art department, commented: “Dalí’s Couple aux têtes pleines de nuages (1937) is a masterpiece from the height of his key surrealist period. It is full of the highly personal imagery that made Dalí perhaps the most exciting member of the Surrealist group during these years of experimentation, revealing his obsession with Freudian psychology as much as his obsession with his great lover and muse Gala. While the now-famous image of the girl skipping was employed by Dalí to symbolize childhood memories, the burning giraffe represents "the masculine cosmic apocalyptic monster" – a timely premonition of war. Dalí painted these monumental panels at a time of intense personal discovery and expression, while the world around him erupted into conflict. Simply put, it is one of the most exciting works by Dalí ever to come to the market.” Dalí joined the Surrealist movement in Paris in 1929, the same year he met Gala, who at that time was marr
