About this deal

Curtis, L. Perry Jr. "Tenniel, Sir John". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (onlineed.). Oxford University Press. doi: 10.1093/ref:odnb/36458.

There's more dottiness in Yayoi Kusama's 1968 "happening", where naked, spot-painted performers cavorted around the Alice statue in Central Park. "Alice was the grandmother of hippies. When she was low, Alice was the first to take pills to make her high," Kusama stated, spelling it out somewhat. Beer, Gillian (2016). Alice in Space: The Sideways Victorian World of Lewis Carroll.

Burstein and Banchoff give us insights into the genius of both Carroll and Dalí, and then we have Dalí's illustrations, which are far distant from any suggestion of realism. Altogether, it is a remarkable voyage through Wonderland on a new plane—an enlightening and pleasurable adventure."—Morton N.
