i67.images obliterated by tinypic/ir29ua.jpg[/IMG] " I am the cross to take your nail" Detail from Christ of St John of the Cross by Salvador Dali Painted in 1951 and purchased by the City of Glasgow in 1952, Dali’s iconic painting has become one of the best-loved in the entire collection, amongst Glaswegians and visitors. The painting was one of the more controversial purchases made by Dr Tom Honeyman, then Director of Glasgow Museums. It is now widely recognised that Dr Honeyman made a very astute decision,in proposing to the then Glasgow Corporation, that the painting should be purchased for the city. Not only did Honeyman secure the painting for less than the catalogue price, he also purchased the copyright for the work from Salvador Dali, thus ensuring a long-term legacy from the purchase. A painting that I grew up with and one that is valued at around 60 million pounds and yet you can still walk in off the street and see it for free thanks to the continuing socialist policy of Glasgow City Council which states 'art for free.'
