3.0 out of 5 stars
Official catalog is inaccurate, incomplete, and poorly done.,
This review is from: The official catalog of the graphic works of Salvador Dali (Hardcover)
This catalog is filled with many errors, prints that are upside-down, discolored, shot on an angle, too dark, incorrectly-named, overly-cropped, and low-resolution. For the money this catalog costs, I expected a masterpiece. What I got is far from that. It's great to have all of these images in one place; it would cost far more to assemble these images via dozens of publications, art guides, and catalogs (if at all possible). But the quality of this "official catalog" is almost criminal, and certainly would not pass muster by the discerning taste of Dali himself. In addition, what is not clear prior to purchase is that this catalog only contains "limited edition" graphic works. This means that you won't find all of those "illustrations" Dali did for many books, magazines, and plays throughout the years. If you own this book, your Dali reference source is far from complete. In short, buy the book if you want specimens of many of Dali's limited edition graphic works (not paintings, book illustrations, etc.) in one place, but don't expect high quality, accuracy, or complete information from this publication. The publishers of this catalog should take lessons from Descharnes and Neret whose "Dali: The Paintings" publication is a masterpiece of accuracy and quality that is 300% bigger than this official catalog and costs 75% less.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Too many mistakes in this book, Prestell's book is better.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The official catalog of the graphic works of Salvador Dali (Hardcover)
This is an interesting book if you are looking for information on forgeries and fakes in Dali art, but I found the 2-volume work by Prestell to be more informative on Dali's authentic lithographs and etchings. Photos of the images are in color, some are mis-labled, some are upside-down. But all in all, as far as documenting fakes and forgeries in Dali art, this book is worth the price.

By jfreund602@aol.com (louisville, kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The official catalog of the graphic works of Salvador Dali (Hardcover)
This catalogue is a must if you are serious about collecting Salvador Dali etchings and lithographs. Extremely education and informative.
Suprisingly enough, you can E-mail Albert Fields and he might even autograph a copy for you...he did mine
