Body Dalí will be excavated on July 20th

The bald body of the Spanish painter Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) will be excavated on Thursday, July 20th.

A Spanish woman successfully spends a business to excavate the surrealist painter. Pilar Abel believes she is the daughter of the painter who died in 1989 at the age of 84. Since 2007, the woman has been fighting for recognition of Dalí's fatherhood and wants to prove it through DNA research. Abel's mother would have had a covert relationship with the painter in the fifties.
