Note:
Field notes that in New York City, Dali signed 150 sets of prints in coloured pencils: red for Hell, purple for Purgatory, and blue for Paradise. Dali began signing in the window of the F.A.R. Gallery and later at the St. Regis Hotel. Field continues that Abe Lublin provided the Collectors Guild in New York City with 150 sets which Dali had signed in these three colours.
