Dali Art Revealed
Friday, May 09, 2008
Renowned author, journalist and largest U.S. independent art dealer collaborate to re-publish book on Salvador Dali art works
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Author and journalist Lee
Catterall and Michigan-based art dealers, Park West Gallery, have announced
the publication of a new book which will update the continuing story of the
murky underworld of counterfeit art attributed to the Spanish artist Salvador
Dali.
The Great Dali Art Fraud and other Deceptions, Revisited will take up
where Catterall left off in his first book, The Great Dali Art Fraud and Other
Deceptions, published in 1992. The new book will focus on achieving "clarity
and accuracy on the subject matter and will contain authoritative opinions
relating to the authenticity of published works of Salvador Dali," according
to the agreement between the parties.
Park West CEO Albert Scaglione has been diligently working to clean up the
Dali print market since the 1970s, and has maintained relationships with some
of the most important dealers, experts and estates of authentic Dali artworks.
"I'm delighted to be involved in the publication of Lee's newest book. His
journalistic credentials and integrity are well known throughout the art
world. More importantly, Lee is the perfect individual to update this story
due to his accuracy and fairness. His first book was widely respected by
honest art dealers, law-enforcement agencies and the general public. Many
things have transpired since the time of the last book's publication, and we
believe it is critical that the book be updated," Scaglione said.
"I am very pleased that Park West has stepped in to assist in the
publication of the updated version of my book. I am particularly impressed
with the support they have given me for complete content control and sole and
absolute discretion. Their confidence in me is greatly appreciated," said
Catterall about the project.
The publication is due to be released in summer 2008 and will be
distributed by Geffen Publishing.
Lee Catterall has been a contributor to The National Law Journal and
reported for the Associated Press. He is an editorial writer for the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin, and was a reporter for the Star-Bulletin covering legal affairs
when he began investigating the great Dali frauds found in various art
galleries in Hawaii. In the 1990s Mr. Catterall was instrumental in exposing
the Center Art Gallery sales of Fraudulent Dali artworks and others at that
time. His publication of The Great Dali Art Fraud and Other Deceptions is
considered the definitive work on the subject. Further information on the
topic can be reviewed at Mr. Catterall's website: www.dalifraud.com.
Park West Gallery is the world's largest privately held art dealer and
conducts art auctions on more than 80 cruise ships for eight different cruise
lines internationally as well as throughout North America in fine hotels and
resorts. Founded in 1969, Park West currently has over 1.2 million clients,
and maintains a 63,000 sq. ft. gallery in Southfield, Mich. and an 181,000 sq.
