Speculating on Huge Dali Exhibition Planned for Late 2012 in Europe

It's been announced that a huge Salvador Dali exhibition is slated for late 2012, opening at the Pompidou Center in Paris, then heading for the Reina Sofia in Madrid.

How can I not speculate -- and dream -- about what Dali treasures might show up there! Could, for example, Battle of Tetuan make an appearance? Tuna Fishing? Or even the strange Colosso (sp?), about which I know virtually nothing?

The latter, large painting surfaced a few years back, when my friend in Britain, Nigel Simmins -- a great collector of Dali memorabilia -- brought the work to my attention via a London newspaper article. It's reproduced here (used under the Fair Use Doctrine for journalistic purposes).

We'll keep a watchful eye on developments in Paris and Madrid, as more information bubbles up.
