Apartamento has published a new book on Salvador Dalí. Casa Dalí unveils exclusive images of the artist’s home in the seaside village of Portlligat, Spain, which has been preserved by Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí (the Dalí Foundation). Seville-born artist Coco Capitán has travelled to the house – originally a fisherman’s hut that Dalí and his partner Gala spent years renovating – to capture its architecture and ephemera.

This was Dalí’s workspace until the last decade of his life. In Portlligat, he created not only his best-known works, but perhaps the most famous work of the surrealist movement, The Persistence of Memory.

According to the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí site, Dalí defined his house “like a real biological structure”. Many of the windows frame Portlligat bay, a recurring reference for the artist. The photographs also show the enormous egg atop a dovecote, that makes the structure recognisable from a distance – the egg being another hugely important symbol in his work.
