"The artwork is offered significantly below its market value, which allows for immediate built-in gain for investors" - Javier Lumbreras, CEO at Artemundi. 
 
 
Who is Salvador Dali? 
 
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. 
 
Salvador Dalí: A Surrealist Icon 
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. 
 
Twin Art 
The chosen artwork does not only follow the positive trend set out by the Dalí works on paper market but also holds another considerable argument in its favor: this artwork is actually the complement to “Hidden Faces”, the cover that Dali created including the Mona Lisa, offered last year by Artemundi. While “Hidden Faces” decorated the front of his only novel (Rostros Occultos), “End” was intended to be the back cover and consequently the two works are connected artistically. In Dali’s home country Spain, Rostros Ocultos (Hidden Faces) was censored: thirty pages of eroticism did not make it to print and only saw the light in France, England and the United States. From experience, art historical importance like this positively translates to an artworks market value. 
 
Why "End"? 
A skull with crossed bones in the center of the artwork is topped by the word FiN (Spanish: end), which gives the title to the work. While the skull appears painterly elaborated and detailed, the bones are painted with broader and less precise brushwork, loosely indicating the shadows of the objects. The equally yellowed skull that forms the centerpiece of the composition is covered by three wasps, which seem to move over its deteriorating structure. To the upper right of the skull and like a visual extension of the written word FiN, there is a little figure with Catalan barretina and crutch. Both, the figure as well as the skull and bones are painted with bright colours that contrast the grey background owed to the uncovered support, which is grey cardboard. Below the crossed bones, Dalí placed his signature and dated the work in prominent manner including the inscription “BRUNETiTiTiTiTUS / G. S. D.”. The present artwork has been in only one private collection before being bought for fractional ownership and is entirely new to the market, something that generally positively affects the price.

The price of 99,850 € includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of 4,850 €. 95,000 € can be allocated to the asset.

Salvador Dalí, End, 1952

Dalí's pieces, spanning from sketches to collages and watercolors, stand as a direct and lasting embodiment of his artistic breakthroughs. Especially remarkable are his creations from the 1950s, which stay faithful to his unique style, showing steady auction prices with few instances of being unsold. The artwork "End", previously held in a private collection, is now available for fractional ownership, marking its debut in the market, which typically boosts its value.
