Who is Salvador Dali?
Salvador Dalí: A Surrealist Icon
Salvador Dalí, born in Figueres, Spain, in 1904 is one of the most popular artists of the 20th century and his work is exemplary for Surrealist art. His paintings, sculptures and works on paper adorn the most prestigious museums around the world including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, The National Gallery in Washington DC and the Tate Modern in London. Dalí’s creations shaped art history and were often inspired by his most important muse, his wife Gala, whose name features in many of his signatures.

Coherent yet truly unique are each of his artworks and especially the finely executed masterpieces enjoy a lastingly stable position in the art market. Although one of the most recognizable artists of our times, the Dalí market remains more accessible when compared with other top-level artists. In the last two decades, the total turnover of all artworks sold at auction by the artist surpassed USD 400 million of which a fourth were paid for works on paper such as collages, drawings and watercolors, a remarkable percentage in comparison to other high-ranking artists.

Why "Hidden Faces?":
Artistic Prestige
Beyond following the positive trend in the Dalí works on paper market, "Hidden Faces" gains significant appeal due to its portrayal of the iconic Mona Lisa, painted by the historically highest-selling artist, Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa's prominence in works by renowned artists like Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, and Banksy enhances its global recognition.

Unique Market Entry
Having been part of just one private collection before tokenization, "Hidden Faces" brings novelty to the market, typically leading to a positive impact on its price. This exclusivity adds value, especially considering its original use as the cover for Dalí's censored novel, "Rostros Ocultos," amplifying its historical significance.

Dalí's Literary Connection
Dalí's decision to feature "Hidden Faces" on the cover of his only novel, subject to censorship in Spain, adds a layer of cultural and historical importance. Such associations often contribute positively to the market value of artworks.

Financial Potential
Looking at the financial perspective, comparable artworks sold over the past two decades reveal an annualized ROI of 15.65%. This track record suggests a promising financial investment in "Hidden Faces."

Outperforming art indices
Investing in Dalí's works on paper is compelling, constituting a substantial segment of his market. These pieces, encompassing drawings, collages, watercolors, and various techniques, are often a more direct expression of his artistic innovations. Particularly noteworthy are the works from the 1950s, featuring consistent auction prices, rare instances of being Bought-In, and a remarkable five-year outperformance compared to indices. This makes them an intriguing investment option, especially given their impressive performance during the global pandemic.
