Observations
Vincent Price, curator of the art collection of Sears, Roebuck & Co. in New York, commissioned a work from Salvador Dalí for the collection. This painting was shown in a number of the firm's stores throughout the United States, but as we do not know for certain where or when these shows were held, the exhibition section is empty.
