Gala Dali Part Two
01/26/24 • 58 min
In Part One we explored Gala’s childhood, how she met her first husband Paul Eluard and traveled alone through Europe in the midst of World War I to be with him, their marriage and later menage-a-trois relationship with Max Ernst, and finally the fateful meeting of Gala and Dali.
Part Two picks back up on Gala's story and honors Gala's complex legacy. Whether critical of Gala’s behavior or not, one cannot deny that she was a force to be reckoned with. Gala knew the life she wanted to live, and was unwilling to let her size, gender, two world wars, and any force opposing her, get in her way.

Gala Dali Part One
Behind every great man, is an even greater woman, and this sentiment couldn’t be more true than in the case of Salvador Dali. Hidden in the shadows of Dali’s massive legacy, is the woman who can be credited with making Dali a household name and one of the strongest forces of nature to ever walk this earth.
Gala was the the wife and companion of Salvador Dali for over 50 years, who not only inspired Dali’s greatest works (many of which feature her image), but managed Dali’s entire career, brokering his biggest deals and elevating him from an unknown and impoverished young artist to celebrity status.

Sue Tilley
In 2008, Lucian Freud’s Benefits Supervisor Sleeping broke a world record for the most expensive painting sold by a living artist. While this sale turned Freud into a household name, the woman featured in Freud’s painting has been unjustly overlooked as an integral part of what makes the work so remarkable.
In this ArtMuse episode, we give Sue her rightful dues in our appreciation of Freud’s famed work. But Sue has lived a robust and adventure-filled life outside of her role as Lucian Freud’s model. Though a benefits supervisor by day, Sue was a club girl by night, and could be found in London’s most notorious nightclubs of the 1980’s, alongside icons like Boy George, and was at the heart of London’s New Romantic movement.
The time is far overdue for Sue’s riveting life story to be shared, and for us to be lucky enough to experience a small fraction of the magic that is Sue Tilley.
