What do you think would be a good asking price for this Dali?
« on: October 05, 2013, 12:54:15 pm »
I have seen such a big range in selling prices for his work.  What is this probably really worth?  Comes with COA and in huge frame.
HAND SIGNED LTD EDITION FACSIMILE COA  102/500     PRINT SIZE 24" X 32"   FRAME SIZE 38" X 45"

This is only £20-30. " The Businessman ". Facsimile signature, like the Madame Butterfly programme.

Basically a print of a print.

Interesting.  They retailed over here for $800.  Maybe someone liked the frame.

Having had first hand experience of owning limited editions in the past....i,m of the opinion....that unless you get it for next to nothing....then its not worth the paper its printed on...I recently sold a limited edition Capo-di-monte..made by G Armani.Mare with foal,it was number 120 of 500...cost when it was first released...£1000....I got it as part of a job lot...and it stood me £2...i put it on ebay...hoping i,d get around £300/400...it sold for under £80...but i was,nt complaining...i made a good profit....now getting back to this "Dali"...i have to admit...that...i,ve been a lifelong admirer of his work....and have visited the Dali museum  in Figueres....see link....
but...i,ve never seen this picture....I,m more into his surreal works...

He did some amazing work.   I have seen this one once before.  That link is awesome!

We have one of his early works here in Scotland...its an original "Christ of St John of the Cross
and its in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery...it was bought from Dali for around £8,000 in the 50,s...I,ve got a couple of copies here...one is a print...and the other is oil on canvas...it was painted by a lifer..in Perth Penitentiary..which ..I happened to be "passing through"..in 1971 and I bought it for 1oz of tobacco....

Not always, I go on your Ebay sometimes.  Here I'm hoping for a better Dali print market.  It seems like they get better prices here for them.

I don't see any point in paying extra for a limited edition print that has nothing to distinguish it from other prints. Facsimile signature ? Same as other prints. Probably cheapish paper stock, too. It's not like it's a limited edition silkscreen / screenprint on wove which would increase quality and value.

" Certificates Of Authenticity " are fools gold on Ebay. They mean nothing unless they come from the estate of the artist or a fully recognised source.

For myself I never buy prints because they make no sense to me.  For some reason people in the U.S. like prints.  I work for a catalog company and people buy tons of prints.  I never figured out why.
