In May 2008, one of three Galanis paintings titled Lady in White was removed from an auction scheduled for 20 May in Bonhams' Greek Sale as doubts over the authenticity of the piece caused a stir in the art world.
In the early 20th century Demetrios Galanis, a contemporary and friend of Picasso, achieved wide recognition in France and lifelong membership of the Académie française following his acclaim by the critic Andre Malreaux as an artist capable "of stirring emotions as powerful as those of Giotto".
