Throughout the Fine Art Registry® investigation into cruise ship art auctions, and in particular, the bad business practices of Park West Gallery, representatives of Park West have repeatedly (when it is convenient for them to do so) through varying media attempted to defame, slander, disparage, decimate, and lay waste to the good name and reputation of Albert Field, Founder and Director of the Salvador Dali Archives in New York and author of "The Official Catalog of the Graphic Works of Salvador Dali". One of the Park West Gallery representatives leading the charge against Albert Field and his successor, Frank Hunter, is Bernard Ewell, an appraiser and his own biggest fan.

To illustrate, we set forth a few of the recent offending quotes written by Ewell about Albert Field and taken straight from his blog which, by the way, is prominently linked to and promoted by his lord and master's web site, Park West Gallery:

• "Albert Field's bogus 'Salvador Dalí Archives' and massively flawed files."
• "Albert Field and head of the sham Salvador Dalí Archives."
• "A future posting will take a close look at 'The Tragedy of Albert Field and His Scatalog of Dalí Prints'."
• "...the very shaky credibility of Albert Field, [and] his scatalog...."
• "...Albert Field's flawed files."
• "...if you, like me, had known Albert Field, visited his squalid apartment in Astoria, New York (the archives) and watched him examine a print attributed to Dalí without having any of the skill to know what he was looking at."
