What The Salvador Dali Gallery Inc does

The Salvador Dali Gallery, Inc. is a privately held, single-artist fine art gallery founded in 1990 and headquartered in San Juan Capistrano, California. The company holds US Patent and Trademark Registration No. 6,39,104 and positions itself as the world's only gallery dealing exclusively in authentic Salvador Dali works. Its inventory spans original paintings, a collection of 27 bronze sculptures, and a continuously refreshed assortment of prints, lithographs and intaglios sourced as new acquisitions. Every print is sold with a certificate of authenticity issued by proprietor Bruce Hochman, a 37-year Dali expert and recipient of the Salvador Dali Museum's "Order of Salvador" induction in March 1996.

The company operates three revenue streams. Fine art sales are transaction-based, with sculptures priced between approximately $15,000 and $40,000 and prints and acquisitions priced between $3,999 and $13,999. Appraisal and authentication services are delivered as a professional service at a flat $300 fee per written appraisal, processed via email submission of photographs. A publications business sells Albert Field's Official Catalog of the Graphic Works of Salvador Dali (which the gallery exclusively distributes), an annual Digital Price Guide (2026 edition priced at $69.95 on a 1-year license), and specialty titles priced between $45 and $89.95.

The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, supported by a toll-free phone line (1-800-275-3254), an e-commerce website at daligallery.com, and email inquiries handled personally by Hochman. The customer base is horizontally segmented across individual art collectors (primary), auction houses, museums and art dealers, with documented engagement from celebrity collectors and institutional clients including the Embassy of France. International shipping and the recurring price-guide subscription introduce a modest recurring-revenue element atop an otherwise transactional model.

Broad incumbents

• Park West Gallery: Large US-based art dealer with a broad multi-artist portfolio including prints and multiples. Comparable as a competing retail fine-art channel for collectible prints aimed at consumer and collector buyers.
• Phillips: Global auction house with 20th-century and modern art category that includes Dali. Comparable as another institutional sales and authentication channel competing for high-end Dali inventory and appraisal work.
• Bonhams: International auction house with an established 20th-century art category including Dali. Comparable as an alternative authentication, appraisal, and sales channel for collectors who might otherwise transact with the gallery.
• Heritage Auctions: Major US-headquartered auction house active in fine art including Dali prints and sculpture. Comparable in serving US collectors seeking authenticated Dali works through an institutional channel.
• Christie's: Global auction house with significant Dali auction activity across prints, multiples, and originals. Comparable as a competing channel for authenticated Dali works and a source of comparable pricing data that drives the gallery's appraisal practice.
• Sotheby's: One of the world's leading auction houses regularly offering Salvador Dali prints, sculptures, and paintings. Comparable because it sets secondary-market price benchmarks the gallery references and competes for high-value Dali consignments at the top of the market.

Emerging players

• Masterworks: An emerging fintech-enabled art investment platform that has publicly acquired and fractionalized blue-chip artworks. Comparable as a newer channel seeking to democratize and authenticate fine art collecting, indirectly pressuring traditional galleries' collector relationships.

Direct peers

• The Salvador Dali Museum: The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL is the most directly comparable organization: also exclusively dedicated to Salvador Dali, maintaining the largest collection of his works, providing authentication references, and awarding the Order of Salvador that Hochman received in 1996. It anchors the institutional Dali market that the gallery serves.
