05/18/2012– Salvador Dali in Redondo Beach CA

In the ever changning world of fine art, one of the best known and most repected art dealers in the United States is the Salvador Dali Society, an organization that prides itself on providing authentic hand signed limited edition works by Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Miro. The Dali Society boasts a perfect A+ rating with the BBB and is recognized by the leaders in their specific niche. As the people that were directly connected to the masters of the 20th Century have for the most part passed away or retired, the Dali Society has emerged as a trusted source for information having to do with authenticity, values of art, a complete listing of accepted works by Dali and other 20th Century masters. While there are many art galleries and dealers that have Dali works, The Dali Society focuses mainly on Dali and has done so for over 20 years now. There are galleries that claim to be Dali experts, but upon checking background info and ethics issues, it is best to be careful when venturing into the world of the 20th Century masters. You might ask yourself, "how do I buy a Dali?", "How do I know it's authentic?", "how do I get a second opinion?" and other obvious questions. The nice thing about the Dali Society is that they are one of the few art dealers that will spend quality time with people who are new to art collecting, and when you speak to the owner or senior art consultants at the Society, you get a sense that they really know what they are talking about and have been doing this for some time. This is much needed as collectors want to feel comfortable when obtaining works and they want the confidence that the works will hold up over time.

Recently news broke that works by Dali have set all time records at major auciton houses and that some of the buyers for these Dali works are well known celebrities and investors. In addition to the limited edition works, the Dali Society also has an impressive collection of drawings, paintings and sculpture by Dali. The owner of the Dali Society will tell you that Dali did create some of the known sculpture, while others are interpretations of his work created by other artisans. The drawings and paintings in the Dali Societies collection were all hand made by Dali himself. Each of the works provided by the Dali Society are verified by outside experts who are known in the Dali market. This is an important issue as many dealers will try to pass themselves off as experts, but it should be obvious that the person selling you the art is not the best person to also provide the certificate of authenticity as that would be similar to going to the doctor and having that same doctor give a second opinion to his own diagnosis. There are many important rules to follow when obtaining works by masters. You can ask questions by contacting the Society at 888-888-3254 or emailing them at inquires@dali.com and remember, art collecting should be a fun experience.
