Thanks fellas.... truth is, despite it not being signed, I like the Miro lito I found for the same price a few weeks back better....the signed Lars Bo etchings as well.. was never a huge Dali despite my love of other surrealist artists Came across this info thanks to chainsaw 's info above 250 Numbered on Arches (1 - 250) 25 Lettered on Japon (A - Y) 25 Collaborators Copies Lettered on Arches (A - Y) the paper definitely looks like a rice paper (or something other than cotton rag) so I'm guessing now that it is O/J meaning one of the 25 prints on the Japon paper more info on the whole series here: www.js.emory.edu/BLUMENTHAL/Salvador%20Dali%20Aliyah.htm(mine is plate 7) |

more info:
"Endnote: There seems to be some confusion concerning the very earliest history of "Aliyah, the Rebirth of Israel" on three issues. First, a brochure issued by Shorewood entitled, "The Miracle of the Aliyah," indicates that there were only 24 originals and lithographs. The number 24 is confirmed in the New York Sunday News, 4/30/1967, and in the Daily News, 3/10/1967. The press release of the Gallery of Modern Art Including the Huntington Hartford Collection that announces the exhibit for April 2-22, 1967, however, indicates 25, and that is the correct number. Furthermore, the Shorewood brochure indicates that there were 25 non-commerical suites issued. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem has "HC" (that is, "hors commerce") edition "J/J," that is the tenth out of ten, thus indicating that only 10 non-commercial suites issued. However, edition "K" is to be found in the Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, thus indicating more than ten non-commerical suites. Finally, the article from Hadassah Magazine cited above indicates that the first portfolio was to be given to the Israel Museum. The Museum Card Catalogue, however, lists "Copy 1/125" (this is a mistake as it should be "1/250.") In any case, the Museum does not have the first portfolio; it actually has portfolio "J/J," the tenth and final (?) copy of the non-commercial suites. The Israel Museum does have another suite, given to it later, but I do not know the number."
“O/J” probably means that series J, which was not meant for sale, included more than ten prints (J/J). An interesting piece of information to which I did not have access when I wrote the above paragraph. Please let me know what Lockport Street Gallery says (and anyone else). Then, I will revise the paragraph on the website.

So you going to hang it? sell it? donate it? or still undecided? I have to find out it's value first. I'd be open to selling or trading it once I have an idea of what it's worth. If it's not worth much or there's no trade interest I'll probably donate it to the Jewish History museum in the town I grew up in Who knows - maybe it could cover a trip to the Walled Off hotel  |
