Four Great Author Interviews for Your July Reading

By flashgordonweb | June 29, 2008

Stan Lauryssens

Dali & I: The Surreal Story

The guardians of Salvador Dalí’s estate are threatening legal action over a new book by a Belgian former art dealer and self-confessed fraudster, which is being turned into a film starring Al Pacino.

Released in Spain today, the book about the flamboyant Spanish artist is laced with sensational accusations — even for a man who deliberately courted controversy during his lifetime.

In Dali & I: The Surreal Storythe author Stan Lauryssens alleges that Dalí authorized thousands of forgeries of his own work in his later years to fund his increasingly lavish lifestyle. Up to half of all Dalís are outright fakes, Mr Lauryssens suggests.

He also spices up his story with tales of Dalí’s supposed orgies with actresses, sexual exploits with young boys and accuses his wife, Gala, of stealing from Kirk Douglas’s wallet during a 1969 visit. Read the rest of the interview here….
