Picked these up today. Paid $3.00 apiece for them.They are all Dali works with print no of 231/390 or 237/390 on all three . All are framed and matted with acrylic covers. They measure 11x15. The colors are vivid. Anyone know the titles of these?
What a TRIO!
Congratulations!
The third one is "En attendant le chocolate" or "cup of chocolate" - 1967.
"En attendant le chocolat" - sorry.
Spell check out of control!
The first one is "Le jeu des huitres" or "oysters and nude" also from 1967.
The second one is "Six oeufs" or "six eggs".
All three come from a set of 14 full page original engravings with lithographic color after the original watercolors. Published in 1967, Dali illustrates seven tales written by Jacques Casanova, the famous adventurer, author and womanizer.

Thank you vertaio50, the information is greatly appreciated.
Are these of any value?
I would say so.
STUNNING!!!!
Before you get too excited, be aware that fake Dali work has flooded the market. It is highly unlikely that these are real.
Just to a web search for "Dali fakes" to begin your research. Here's a start: http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1999-03-29/lifestyle/9903290357_1_salvador-dali-museum-dali-s-work-dali-prints
Salvador Dali's assistant once said that when Dali was signing autographs, sometimes a unique signature of his own would intrigue him. So Dali would keep it for himself. =^)
