This week the Italian authorities seized 21 suspected forgeries attributed to Salvador Dalí from a major monographic show titled “Dalí, Between Art and Myth” in the northern city of Parma.
A court in Rome ordered the seizure after the Carabinieri TPC, Italy’s art crime squad, and experts in Spain agreed that the artworks might not be genuine.
“We noticed that only lithographs, posters and drawings by Dalí were on display, along with a few statues and other objects, but no paintings or anything of importance.
However, the Italian art crime squad waited until the works were shown in Parma before raiding the show, according to Opilio.
“Dalí, Between Art and Myth” was organized by a Palermo-based firm called Navigare.
