"Homage to Lincoln" Counterfeit Print.

Auction end date: 11/15/2011
Sale price: $157
Details: No. 88 of 300; 19.5" x 22.5" BFK Rives paper; 14.5" x 19.25" image.
NOTE: As noted by Field (p. 238), this print is a modified portion of a painting that Dali made in 1942 for Esquire Magazine, published by Gaillard for Amiel, and Dali had nothing at all to do with it. Therefore, the print is counterfeit, and the signature is likely a forgery.

IN PERSON HAND SIGNED AUTOGRAPH BY SALVADOR DALI 
WITH PROVENANCE AND LETTER OF DOCUMENTATION
This excellent signature by Salvador Dali was boldly signed in front of me during one of my interviews with Dali. It was professionally matted and framed to an overall size of 11 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches. The Dali signature is on a large card measuring 6 x 4 inches with a small vintage photograph. The photo is loosely attached under the mat and can be safely removed.
I knew Salvador Dali when I first began my career and he signed many things for me, including the two first edition art books "Dali by Dali", and "Les Diners de Gala." A letter of documentation will be provided with this framed Dali autograph, and copies of some of our published interviews, and photos of me with Dali.
