| Admin/Biog History | Sewell first met the Spanish painter and printmaker, Salvador Dali (1904-1989) when holidaying at Cadaques, Spain in the late 1960s. He later visited him on four occasions and Sewell wrote about these experiences in his autobiography Outsider II: Always Almost: Never Quite.
In November 2004, Sewell met with Jan Younghusband, Commissioning Editor, Arts & Performance, Channel 4, to discuss the possibility of making a television programme about Dali. In 2006, October Films, an independent production company based in the UK and USA, started work on the project which was directed by Guy Evans. Sewell wrote a script and presented the programme which was fifty minutes long. It was shown as: Dirty Dali: A Private View (2007). Channel 4, 3 June 2007. |
