Salvador Dali Signed print Can anyone tell me if this is authentic?

A family member owns this framed item. Can you tell me (the pictures are a bit weak, sorry) if this is an authentically signed piece? He believes it is and I believe it is not. I appreciate your help.

This does not look like Dali's signature to me.

Thanks for the reply Richard. I believe there are more forged and faked Dali prints than originals from what I read.

Was it not Salvador and/or Pablo who used to sit and sign forgeries deliberately and also sign blanks for prints that were not even there? One of those, perhaps both, IIRC

Eric,

I read years ago that Dali did sign a number of blanks with the lithograph or print added later, even after his death perhaps.  Seems odd but he seemed odd.

I'd like to have a Dali signature on a print or book but they are so easy to fake I don't want to risk the money. I bought a print at a Regency Auction years ago, it was on heavy stock, looked great, was embossed, had a good looking signature and it ended up being fake according to an expert. I got my money back thankfully.

A tremendous amount of Chagall, Dali and Picasso lithos/prints are forged. Huge quantities. After his death is forgery, but he was also signing while alive - anything - for $ it seems. It might have been Picasso who signed forgeries deliberately, I don't recall. It sounds a Dali move, but I can't recall.

Eric

you can add Escher to that list of most forged artist prints

I met Dali at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City where he was staying in 1974 and he signed a photo for me. See the attached sig and compare to the one you have. It's true he's often forged and this is the ONLY signature I know to be actually his. Buyer, beware.
