This work, based on Dalí’s 1976 painting "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea," is a premier example of the artist’s exploration of dual imagery and photomosaic techniques. When viewed at a distance of 20 meters, the composition—featuring a nude Gala looking out a window—optically transforms into a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. This specific iteration is a limited edition restrike, produced on archival paper and featuring a facsimile signature of the artist in the lower margin. It captures the complex grid-like arrangement and surrealist tonality of the original 1977 mixed-media release, serving as a decorative homage to one of Dalí’s most technically celebrated optical illusions.
