A true Dali (Saint Joan) stands in the town hall of Alicante.
Except… the story is that Dali did not have the money to pay the mould-maker his wages. In an unusual moment, the artist gave away the Saint Joan mould to the mould-maker as wages for his labour. The mould-maker later made this Saint Joan sculpture from Dali’s mould.
So far, I have not been able to either confirm or deny this m, but it makes for a great story.
