Liquid and Gaseous Television (Imaginations and Objects of the Future)

"Liquid and Gaseous Television" is a hand-signed etching with collage, created in 1973 by Salvador Dalí, and it is part of the Imaginations and Objects of the Future series. The Imaginations and Objects of the Future series was born of the concerted effort of a Chicago-based gallerist to convince Dalí to do a set of prints about the future. It was proposed on three separate occasions over a period of years before Dalí agreed to the undertaking. The arrangement included the creation of ten new paintings from which the prints would be produced. The paintings were loaned to Dalí’s Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres, Spain for a period of two years and then sold. The Imaginations and Objects of the Future series consists of ten lithographs, five of which have collage elements. Liquid and Gaseous Television is one of the works featuring collage. Dalí’s television of the future eliminated the need for a physical devise of any kind: The image size is 27.75 x 20.5-inch. The framed size is 41.75 x 3
