Dali aide convicted of 'touch-up': "A close friend of Salvador Dali has to pay one million euros (£696,296) in compensation after being convicted of doctoring one of his works.
John Peter Moore, 85, who was Dali's assistant for 20 years, was accused of manipulating The Double Image of Gala, which was stolen in 1974.
The painting turned up after Dali's death in 1989 but there was no explanation of where it had been. Moore must also pay additional costs for repairing and restoring the piece... Moore's wife, Catherine Perrot, was also convicted on the same charge of 'damaging the moral rights of the author'."
Apparently no consideration is given if the doctoring actually makes the painting better.
