When Oscar R. Schlag sold Salvador Dalí's painting 'L'Énigme du désir',
[1929] and was asked why he'd done it, Schlag replied "I live from wall to
mouth."
Another work sold by Schlag, supposedly painted by Egon Schiele, revealed itself as a forgery after having already changed hands several times. |
