Painting in thrift store appears to be true Dalí | Abroad

Wendy Hawkins, who helps in the shop twice a week, saw the artwork in the sorting room where it would receive a price tag. “I said,” This is old, this is special. “

Hawkins decided to investigate and had the painting checked by an expert. It turned out to be a real Dalí, from his series “La Divina Commedia”, and it was even signed by the painter.

A surprise, the director told CNN. “We’ve had a few times that we thought we had something, and it turned out not to be the case. I now also assumed that Wendy would say, “Oh no, it wasn’t really something,” but it turned out to be something. “

Paintings usually give the thrift store ten to fifty dollars; Dalí’s work is worth around $ 1,200.
