Collector Eleanor Morse dies at 97
Obituary - Thursday, July 8, 2010
Eleanor Reese Morse, who, together with her late husband A. Reynolds Morse, founded the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, passed away at her home in St. Petersburg, Florida on Thursday, July 1, 2010. She was ninety-seven.
The Morses were married on March 21, 1942. Several weeks before their wedding, they visited a traveling Dalí retrospective at the Cleveland Museum of Art organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and became fascinated with the artist’s work. On March 21, 1943, the Morses bought their first Dali painting—Daddy Longlegs of the Evening, Hope! (1940) as a belated wedding gift. This was the first of many acquisitions, which would culminate 40 years later in the preeminent collection of Dalí’s work in America. On April 13, 1943, the Morses met Salvador Dalí and his wife Gala in New York initiating a long, rich friendship regularly visiting the Dalís’s villa in Port Lligat, Spain.
