Artwork authentication

Do you want to know if a work is really by Salvador Dalí? The Foundation’s Authentication and Cataloging Committee offers an expert service for unique works—such as oil paintings, drawings, and watercolors—to determine their authorship. No appraisal or valuation services can be requested.

The Authentication and Cataloguing Commission offers its expert service for single works—oils, watercolors, and drawings—to authenticate their authorship by Salvador Dalí. Under no circumstances will the Commission issue judgments of economic value or appraise the works.

If you are interested in this service, please fill out the attached form and we will contact you regarding the transfer of the piece to our facilities. Please note that the Dalí Foundation does not insure works that are not part of its collection. If you need to transport a work, consider having it insured for the transfer and its stay at the Foundation for a minimum of three (3) months. If you are transporting it from abroad, please be aware of customs procedures. The piece to be expertized must be sent to the Foundation unframed and properly protected. Under no circumstances will the Commission issue judgments of economic value or appraise the works.

If you simply want to share your work with us, please send us an email to ced@fundaciodali.org.

The Commission does not offer its expert service for the study and evaluation of graphic and three-dimensional works, manuscripts, and signatures. We regret that we are currently unable to offer a service that would allow us to determine the authenticity or legitimacy of the piece. We hope to be able to do so shortly. Please visit this website again for updates.
