Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Rare works by the Surrealist master Salvador Dali go on show at the Modern Masters Gallery at its new premises in Cork Street, London from tomorrow.

More than 40 works, including sculptural pieces and paintings, drawings and watercolours never exhibited in the UK before, have been sourced for the exhibition from private collections by gallery curators.

The exhibition also features some of Dali’s most recognisable sculptures, including a version of his iconic Lobster Telephone, the Buste de Femme Retrospectif (pictured) and T he Shoe; Surrealist Object with a Symbolic Function.

One of the curators, Enrique Sabater y Bonany, Dali’s personal secretary and friend, remarked:

“I got to know Salvador Dali and his wife Gala in early 1968 and I kept up this exceptional friendship for 12 years…as a curator of the exhibition, it gives me great please to be able to offer you this collection of original works as a demonstration of the dreams, the memories and the visions of that impassioned son of the Mediterranean.”

The Unseen Dali: Drawings, Paintings, Sculptures is at the Modern Masters Gallery, London from December 2 until February 28 2011. For further information visit modernmastersgallery.com
