Everything gets more confusing not just because of Glenn's verisimilitudinous rehashery - he's also keen on pulling Baselitz-style flips with his paintings, especially with his portraits. Gagosian's page for Brown shows the painting with a clockwise rotation to Dali's original, a turning that would render Dali's surreal self-portrait upright. The image on Gagosian also looks like a terrible reproduction, though Brown is also known for trompe-l'oeiling his paintings to simulate impasto and other ways to signify decadence/general putrescence (though I'm pretty sure he hasn't lent his talent to simulating shitty JPEGs).
Other changes in Brown's painting include a truncation of the original image, as well as the removal of several elements - including an ant-sieged grasshopper clinging to the portrait, its head perfectly proportioned/positioned to enter Dali's nostril - and general stylistic alterations. Further sleuthing shows the painting oriented more like Dali's, but I don't know who to trust.
Disorientation Disney Postscript: Had a feeling that the weeping Alice looked like someone associated with GIFs, and realized it was Rhizome director Lauren Cornell. Funny that the picture I found of Cornell seems to have images of characters from other Disney animations on the computer screen (looks like Arthur from The Sword in the Stone and Mowgli from The Jungle Book)*. Though the glasses appear to have been added, so... IDK, DWI? All together now...

*ADDENDUM: The video on the computer screen in this photo is Versions (2010) by Oliver Laric (thanks Duncan Alexander). Among other things, the video appears to show how Disney reused animations for its various characters (like applying different "skins" to game animations).
