Dali's "Deux Fatrasies" Fraudulent Etching.


Auction end date: 2/19/2012
Sale price: $106
Details: 8.5" x 9.4"; No. EA; forged pencil signature.  The title of this etching is actually "Diogene en Son Tonneau" from the book Deux Fatrasies (Field catalog #63-2(A), p. 23).  The plate was canceled with a single hole in the upper left, where the moon appears!  This moon identifies the print as one from a fraudulent edition made by Leon Amiel (Field catalog, pp. 238 & 240).  Dali would not sign a fraudulent print, so the signature is forged.
