How do I know if my Dalí is real?
How you can know if your Dalí is real depends on whether you have a painting or a print. For prints, one of the best ways to assess authenticity is to compare details, such as the position and size of the signature and the dimensions of the image, to information published in a well-researched catalogue of the artist's work, which you can find online and in some libraries. For paintings, you can compare the artist's signature with images shared on trusted online resources. Because there are many counterfeits of the Spanish artist's work, it is a good idea to get an expert opinion from a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer.
