Spanish police have seized 81 works of art attributed to the surrealist master Salvador Dali that were on the point of being auctioned.
The spectacular artworks up for sale included lithographs, textiles, cutlery, sculptures and bas-reliefs. Police detained a Frenchman who had apparently transported the works from France for the sale at a hotel in Estepona, on the Costa del Sol, accusing him of fraud and forgery. His identity was not disclosed.
