Divine Comedy? Divine Tragedy? Or Divine Farce?

The Great Park West Dali Half Million Dollar Swindle. A Short Summary.

A short summary of a full length documentary in which experts examine a set of Salvador Dali Divine Comedy prints, sold by Park West to two London based lawyers, for over half a million dollars. Examination of the prints show them to be genuine Dali woodblock prints BUT each with a FORGED Dali signature. The prints without the signatures would be worth about $10,000. The prints with genuine Dali signatures would be worth $30-50,000. The prints as they are, with forged signatures, are worth nothing. The video shows how Park West and Royal Caribbean International swindled Sharon Day and Julian Howard out of over half a million dollars. But the story is not over.

Update (May 17, 2011): Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation says Day Divine Comedy Set NOT Signed by Dali
