It was not clear whether the pieces were stolen, genuine or fakes.<\/p>\n<p>The works, which included sculpture, bas reliefs, lithographs, textiles, furniture and cutlery had been transported to the hotel in Estepona from France and were due to be auctioned there. The asking price for the elephant sculpture, believed to be a work known as the Space Elephant, was \u20ac1.2m (\u00a31.1m) .<\/p>\n<p>Police said they were investigating reports from around the world that up to a dozen pieces similar to those on display had been stolen. The robberies had been reported in the United States, France, Belgium and Spain. An unidentified Frenchman was arrested and charged with fraud and faking documents, they said.<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/artanddesign\/2009\/jan\/22\/spanish-police-seize-fake-stolen-salvador-dalis\" target=\"_blank\">click to continue reading at The Guardian<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from The Guardian UK Spanish police seize fake and stolen Dal\u00eds \u00a31.1m bronze elephant among 81 works confiscated in raid on Costa del Sol hotel Giles Tremlett\u00a0in Madrid guardian.co.uk, Thursday 22 January 2009 18.54 GMT Article history \u00a0 Salvador Dali and his wife, Gala, photographed in 1954.
