Dali Archives Print Authentication Service

The Salvador Dali Archives can examine your Dali works for authenticity, and issue a report.

The Archives established its Dali print authentication service nearly twenty years ago. Its purpose is to provide complete, accurate, and independent verification of the authenticity of Dali's graphic works for the public.

The Salvador Dali Archives has provided authentication services to individuals, major art galleries and auction houses world-wide. Some of its clients include: Hirschl & Adler Galleries Inc. (New York City), Dali Universe (London), Espace Montmartre (Paris), Leslie Hindman Auctioneers (Chicago), and Bonhams and Butterfield (New York/London).

The Authentication Process

Visual Inspection

  • Prints:  
    In most cases, we will be able to determine the authenticity of your print by reviewing the information and photographs you submit; we may require a visual inspection, but will contact you after reviewing your information if this is necessary.

  • Original works:  
    Drawings, watercolors, etc. will need to be physically inspected, - please call for instructions.

Authentication Form

Please Note:
If you have simple questions regarding Dali works please contact us. If your question requires us to conduct research, a fee will be required.
