In an exhibition in the Italian city of Parma, the police seized 21 works that were attributed to the Spanish surrealistic painter Salvador Dalí. It is most likely about counterfeits.
Agents, among other things, seized tapestries, drawings, engravings and various objects. They were part of the Salvador Dalí exhibition: between art and myth .
The exhibition started last week in the northern city of Parma. The police were tipped by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, which discovered “irregularities” when the artworks were shown in Rome from January to July.
A specialized police unit that deals with stolen or forged art is conducting further investigation. In 2024, the same unit discovered a large-scale pan-European network that made and sold fakes from work by Banksy, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Dalí.
