Originally Published 5 months ago — by The Guardian
A modestly priced painting bought for £150 at a house clearance sale in Cambridge has been authenticated as a genuine Salvador Dalí artwork, valued at £20,000 to £30,000. The piece, Vecchio Sultano, is part of Dalí's unfinished Middle Eastern folktale illustrations, which were largely unpublished and stored in a London garage. The discovery highlights the potential value hidden in overlooked art pieces and the importance of expert authentication.
