Sale price: $125

Original Intaglio Restrike Etching: "Vision of Venice (Gondola)."

Auction end date: 3/5/2012
Sale price: $400
Details: 1976 Levine & Levine; No. EA; 12" x 3" sepia image on Arches 18" x 10" paper.
NOTE: purports to be original etching #76-2 (Field, p. 102), however there are no unnumbered EA prints of this image.  Field states that the Dali signature on this print is "not acceptable" (p. 237).  I tend to agree--doesn't look correct.  This print is most likely a counterfeit/forgery NOT signed by Dali.

Dali's "Deux Fatrasies" Fraudulent Etching (aka "Don Quixote").

Auction end date: 3/2/2012
Sale price: $103
Details: 9" x 6" image;
NOTE: The title of this etching is actually "Diogene en Son Tonneau" from the book Deux Fatrasies (Field catalog #63-2A, 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).

Salvador Dali Etching FORGERY: Song of Songs of Solomon: "Grapes" (Let him kiss mee...).

Auction end date: 2/10/2012
Sale price: $200
Details: No. EA.
NOTE: This purports to be an original etching from the "Song of Songs of Solomon"  intaglio suite officially titled Let him kiss mee with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine (Field #71-17B; p. 70).  In fact, this print is a forgery.  It is a Leon Amiel restrike (Field p. 238).  In the best case scenario, this forgery is made from the original plate, but the signature is not by the hand of Dali (In my opinion, a decent signature, but the "D" is all wrong).  Apparently comes with a COA from Marlin Art, Inc. out of Deer Park, NY.
