Eleven lithographs by Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí are to be put up for auction after being stored and forgotten in a private home for nearly 50 years.
The works, found in a garage in Berkeley Square in London’s upscale Mayfair, were purchased in the 1970s at a gallery closing sale for just a few hundred pounds.
“These pieces check all the boxes. This is a major artist and there is continued interest,” says Chris Kirkham, associate director of Hansons Richmond auction house.
