By 1968 Dalí’s name was a licensed commercial brand on advertisements and multiples.

Context

Multiples can cheapen access and can extract. Split later museum jewelry as teaching.

Salvador Dalí’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

From the 1960s he appeared in advertisements and authorised commercial objects under the Dalí name. Photographers, copywriters, and factories executed. The brand captured rents far above workshop wages.

Why it matters

A genius-signature brand concentrating advertising rents is an inequality path.

An advert is not a 1929 film.
