Where did Salvador Dalí hold his first solo exhibition in 1925?

Salvador Dalí held his first solo exhibition in 1925 at the Dalmau Gallery in Barcelona.

The exhibition marked an important early step in Dalí’s professional career, before his mature Surrealist period. He was still developing his style, and the works shown reflected influences from modern European art movements, including Cubism and Purism. Barcelona’s Galeries Dalmau had already helped introduce avant-garde art to Spanish audiences.

Dalí’s first solo show is sometimes confused with his later exhibitions in Madrid, Paris, and New York. His 1925 Barcelona exhibition came before his studies in Madrid had ended and before he became internationally famous. Dalí later became closely associated with Surrealism after meeting figures such as André Breton and spending time in Paris, but that later reputation should not be projected backward onto this first major one-person exhibition.
