Persistence

Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento points to a report in Spanish newspaper El Pais to the effect that "The Dali Foundation reported net earnings in 2007 of €1.3 million based on reproduction rights, trademarks and rights of publicity for Salvador Dali and his works." The foundation's director is quoted as saying they are also "collaborating regularly with police and Interpol. Grand forgeries are rare, but fraudulent reproductions based on abuse of the original contracts are quite frequent."
