On 26th May, Christie’s Milan held a unique event for Italian collectors who are passionate about modern and contemporary art.
Indeed, at Palazzo Clerici the public could attend the auctioning of works executed by artists that have somehow marked the history of Italian 20th-century art: Agostino Bonalumi, Mario Sironi, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Renato Guttuso and many more.

Only few days are left until the auction of Modern and Contemporary Art that will be held at Christie’s Milan. For the 26th May the Italian public, but not only, is getting ready for this extraordinary sale that will have as protagonists the most famous names of Italian 20th century art, such as Mario Schifano, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Enzo Cucchi, Tano Festa, Renato Guttuso, but also more international figures, including Tom Wesselmann, Hans Hartung and Victor Vasarely.

The painting Vesuvius, created by Andy Warhol in 1985 is to go back on the market on occasion of the historical exhibition at the Capodimonte Museum organised thanks to the Lucio Amelio Foundation, and by the Organisation of Artistic and Historical Heritage in Naples. The work will be put on auction by Pandolfini on 21st May during the session dedicated to modern and contemporary art and design.
