Lady in the Page Beautiful piece of art Please email me if you have any questions and I will try to answer as best as I can Image size is 26.25" X 17.625" Paper size is 30" x 21.25" Artist is said to be Salvador Dali but I'm not 100% sure Lithograph Prints are very well published attributed to Salvador Dali .Signed and numbered limited edition lithograph print signed "S. Dali"The story is told that Dali frequently traveled and as the years wenton and he became older he would not adjust his schedule to the dates thathis prints would be finished, Dali merely supplied his assistants withpre-signed paper on which the images could be printed. These werestill considered legitimate. Dali had conceived and designed the imagesspecifically for them. There is still a lot of other controversy abouthis art but It still seems that Dali's art can still be pricey in the artgalleries today.The understanding is that Dali's signatures can not be verified ofprints published after 1980. As of that date it has been told that Dali wasunder court order not to sign any reproduced art. Due to this fact, it isthe understanding the prints should not be sold as an "investment" to thebuyer and does not merit the selling price that they would command if they could be verified to be actually signed by Dali. That the art should be sold for pure enjoyment and appreciation of the art piece. So the selling price would actually be what the market will bear as far as desirability of the image will be. Salvador Dali (1904-1989) By Wendy Owen Fake Prints, Forgeries, and Mysteries of the Surreal Salvador Dali is known world-wide as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, and one of the leading names in Surrealism. Second favorite only to Picasso in his native Spain, Dali’s prints, oil paintings and other mediums of art continue to be highly collectible today, and command the highest dollar at auction. However, towards the end of his career, Dali’s art ethics took a turn for the worse in some ways, and through some fault, or none, of his own, a great upheaval began to take place in the art world over his name. Picture of the artist A mysterious and colorful character in his own right, Dali left behind many rumors and mysteries for his fans and art lovers to unfold. Today, we are left wondering whether rumored followers were indeed creating canvases under Dali’s name, with or without his consent. What could that possibly mean for collectors? On one hand, it could mean frustration and heartache over learning that a prized Dali piece is nothing but a forgery. On the other hand, it could also mean that an endless amount of original Dali art could still be around, unauthenticated and otherwise unknown. While an art historian could only tell you for certain the truth about a specific piece of art, read on to see if your Dali is an original, a fake, or a lost piece from the greatest Surrealist artist ever to live. The Forgeries During his lifetime, and surely even today, artists attempted to forge their own work as original Dali’s. These forgeries are worthless, as far as the art world is concerned, and are generally easy for art historians and experts to determine. However, Dali was notorious for signing his name a thousand different ways, which makes authenticating his work all the more difficult for art experts. Signature 1 Signature 2 Signature 3 Signature 4 Signature 5 The difference between a forgery and a fake in the case of Dali is quite simple…in the case of the forgeries, Dali did not consent for the art piece to be made, and most likely knew nothing about it. In the case of fakes, Dali most likely approved of or requested that they be made in his name. Neither are as valuable as a genuine Dali, however, a fake may hold some significant value if it was created under his direction.
