Pub. Victor Gollancz Ltd, London, 1987.

First edition, first impression.

An investigation into the scandal of Dali forgeries. Dalí is the second most frequently forged artist (behind only Picasso), and is known to have signed blank canvases to be filled in later by other artists. He also authenticated forgeries in his style by other artists (it seems that he genuinely believed them to be his), and he may have sanctioned forgeries of his own work in exchange for a share in the profits.
