This sounds like the real deal — this is the only authentic hand-signed lithograph of “Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali. Even if you hate his work (shame on you if you do), anyone who knows anything about the art world will confirm that an actual signature on the artwork raises the intrinsic value by exponential amounts. Which explains why this Dali lithograph and unsigned mini linocut reproduction by Pablo Picasso are selling for $27,000 (upon requesting a reduction from the starting $1.7 million).
It’s actually surprising that this piece is even circulating. One would think that a masterpiece such as this, by one of the world’s most famous artists, would be in a museum or traded between elite galleries. In other words, bid on it!

13|Aug|2008 2I would hardly call a Dali signed lithograph a “One of a Kind” as they are numbered editions, such as “63/120″ etc., and having owned this lithograph prior to surrendering it to my ex-wife, it might be worth perhaps $1500 to $ 2500 depending on the frame quality and quality of the litho paper that was used and the process…original litho, photo litho or serigraph. At the time that Dali was signing these, and he signed thousands of these…the serigraph was not the dominant fine art method yet. So serigraphs would be very rare. The insertion of the unsigned linocut Picasso actually lowers the value of the object. These should always be presented in separate framing and display. It makes no sense, and only detracts from the visual value.
