Pace Di Donna Schrader Galleries

Di Donna Galleries is pleased to present Dalí: The Great Years, 1929–1939, a major exhibition tracing the pivotal decade in which Dalí established both his mature artistic language and enduring public persona. It is the most significant presentation of Dalí’s work in New York since the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition in 2008.

Di Donna and Ben Brown Fine Arts are proud to present "Magritte and Les Lalanne: In the Mind’s Garden," a major exhibition opening in October 2025 at Di Donna’s Madison Avenue gallery. The exhibition brings together the visionary worlds of René Magritte, François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne (known collectively as Les Lalanne)—artists who did not merely depict the natural world but reimagined it as a fertile landscape of poetic foresight and surreal transformation.

Di Donna Galleries is proud to exhibit Salvador Dalí’s "Les Vins de Gala (The Wines of Gala)", a collection of thirty-five works—spanning collage, drawing and painting atop photographic prints— that were created by Dalí for reproduction in his celebrated publication, "Les Vins de Gala" between 1976 and 1977. "Les Vins de Gala" is a lavish and surrealistic tribute to the transformative powers of wine, conceived as the hedonistic sequel to Salvador Dalí’s earlier gastronomic fantasia "Les Dîners de Gala" (1973). Published in October 1977 by the Parisian house Draeger as "Les Vins de Gala du Divin", the book reimagines the traditional wine guide as a dreamlike, emotional journey rather than a prosaic compilation of varietals. "Les Vins de Gala" celebrates intoxication as both alchemy and art—an ecstatic communion between the senses, the subconscious, and the divine.

Di Donna Galleries is pleased to announce "The Surrealist Collage: Where Dreams and Reality Meet", opening at the gallery’s Madison Avenue location on April 25. Organized in collaboration with Timothy Baum—a renowned poet, essayist, collector, and expert in Dada and Surrealism—the exhibition will showcase a significant collection of collages by leading Surrealist artists. "The Surrealist Collage" celebrates the evocative power of collage as a unique medium and explores how it embodied both the imagination and ingenuity of the Surrealists. By assembling fragments of printed images, photographs, and other ephemera, they created dreamlike compositions that merged the boundaries between reality and the imagination. The exhibition features works by Surrealist poets and artists alike, including André Breton, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Nusch Éluard, Paul Éluard, Max Ernst, Georges Hugnet, Valentine Hugo, René Magritte, Man Ray, Joan Miró, Meret Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, Jindřich Štyrský, Remedios Varo, and others active in the movement.

Di Donna Galleries is pleased to present "Hallowed Ground: Tanguy, Lam, Penalba, Cárdenas", an exhibition on view at the gallery’s Madison Avenue location from October 30 to December 6. The exhibition unites the works of Yves Tanguy, Wifredo Lam, Alicia Penalba, and Agustín Cárdenas—artists whose journeys from diverse locales converged in the creative capital of Paris. The exhibition explores how these masters integrated their native environments within the framework of Parisian Modernism, showcasing Tanguy and Lam’s fantastical painted worlds alongside Penalba and Cárdenas’ poignant sculptures. Each of these artists used their shifting environments, as well as their native natural landscapes, as resonant material, emphasizing their respective cultures and individual narratives. Elements found in both Tanguy and Lam’s painted worlds appear to come forth into real space with the sculptures of Penalba and Cárdenas. Monday - Friday | 10AM - 6PM Saturday November 2, 9, 16 | 11AM - 6PM

Di Donna Galleries is pleased to announce Enchanted Reverie: Klee and Calder, organized in close collaboration with the Calder Foundation. The first exhibition in eighty years to pair these Modern masters, Enchanted Reverie brings together over forty paintings, sculptures, and works on paper to present Paul Klee (1879–1940) and Alexander Calder (1898–1976) in dialogue, illuminating their shared metaphysical understanding of the universe’s unseen forces. The exhibition includes loans from distinguished private collections and international institutions including the Fondation Beyeler, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as an impressive selection of works from the Calder Foundation. A fully illustrated catalogue featuring essays by historians Olivier Berggruen and Dr. Elizabeth Hutton Turner will accompany the exhibition.
