But while that makes good artistic sense, it neglects a vital aspect of the artist. Visitors can thus assess the work without being assaulted by Dalí the clown. Titled “Salvador Dalí,” the show, sponsored in Philadelphia by the financial services company Advanta, plays down the exhibitionism. The retrospective, which comes from the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, marks the climax of a worldwide celebration of Dalí that began in Spain last year on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
