At the time of his death, Salvador Dali is officially childless, having been married to the equally eccentric Gala.
But that could possibly change now. A Spanish judge ordered the remains of the artist to be exhumed to settle a paternity suit.
Pilar Abel, a tarot-card reader from the nearby city of Girona who was born in 1956, says she is the offspring of an affair between Dalí and her mother, Antonia.
Abel has claimed that her mother told her about a secret affair she had in the 1950s with the painter. According to Abel, her grandmother knew about the affair as well and often said that Abel was “strange, like [her] father.”
If there's a match, Abel could use Dalí as her surname and pursue further legal action to claim her rights over the artist's work and property, which according to regional laws could amount to 25% of all of the estate. Read more at USA Today.
