Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation

[1] The Foundation was created on 23 December 1983 at the Castle of Púbol, the following year after the death of Gala.

His death on 23 January 1989 inaugurated a period of transition until 1991, when the board of the foundation appointed Ramon Boixadós Malé as president.

In May 2011, the Foundation made the most expensive acquisition in its history, when it bought Dalí's painting Enigmatic Elements in a Landscape (1934), for €7.8 million.

[3][circular reference] According to the statutes, the organization's mission is to "promote, disseminate, honor, protect and defend, in the territory of the Spanish State and that of any other state, the artistic, cultural and intellectual work of the painter , his goods and rights of any kind; his life experience, his artistic, intellectual and cultural projects and works; his memory and the universal recognition of his great contribution to the Fine Arts , to Culture and contemporary thought".

Dalí directed the works of restoration and adaptation of the castle, giving it his own personal Surrealist touch.

After being seriously injured in a fire when he was sleeping, which required hospitalization, he moved to the Tower Galatea, in the Dalí Theatre and Museum, until his death, in 1989.
