A Spanish judge on Monday ordered the remains of artist Salvador Dali to be exhumed to settle a paternity suit, despite opposition from the state-run foundation that manages the artist's estate. Salvador Dali and his wife Gala are seen during a visit to London on April 26, 1955. Abel's court litigation started in 2015 when she sued Spain's ministry of finance, as the trustee of Dali's estate, and the Gala Dali Foundation that was created to administer it. The Gala Dali Foundation will appeal Monday's decision, foundation spokeswoman Imma Parada said in an e-mailed statement. But according to Blanquez, the appeal could not immediately stop the exhuming of Dali's remains.
