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).

Suspect "Loup Edition" Les Diners de Gala Litho: Les Delices Petits Martyrs--SELLS AGAIN...AND AGAIN!!!

Auction end date: 2/25/2012
Sale price: $1325
Details: 75 x 56cm BFK Rives paper; No. 45 of 195.
Note: the paper size and the edition of 195 is consistent with an edition advertised circa 1978 by Jean-Paul Loup (published by Lavigne) subsequent to the original distribution of 395 on Rives (Field, p. 110).  Significant controversies and contradictions surround this extended edition of prints, and not all signatures are by Dali's hand (Field, p.235).  In my opinion, the signature pictured on this print is a forgery, making this print a counterfeit.

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.

Salvador Dali Etching FORGERY: Song of Songs of Solomon: "Return, return, Shulamite" (Two Nudes).


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 Return, return, Shulamite (Field #71-17L; pp. 70-71).  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.  Apparently comes with a COA from Kass Meridian Gallery out of Chicago, Il.
