“Adam & Eve & Darwin” by Nall (Image courtesy of The International Arts Center)
His times with Dali were filled with drugs, sex and all kinds of craziness...
The first party that Nall went to at Dali's Nall went as Adam and his date went as Eve. They had to walk around the party naked. Dali requested that Nall bring swans which were put into a large claw-footed tub.
One time they went to the races in Dali's cream colored car and they filled the car up with cantaloupes. When they got out of the car, the cantaloupes went spilling out on the ground.
At other garden parties and other parties people were having great sex everywhere you looked. I said to Nall, 'I can't fathom all of this Nall!' His answer was, 'Darling, you've never been on the track with zebras and giraffes...you've just been on the racetrack with mules!'
