Ambrosiana Auction House Presents Modern and Contemporary Art Sale in Milan

On Tuesday, 21 April, Ambrosiana will conduct a modern and contemporary art auction at Via Sant'Agnese 18 in Milan, starting at 14:00. The sale features 177 lots, presenting a balanced selection between major figures of the late 20th century and more experimental approaches. A highlight is Agostino Bonalumi's 1964 work 'Rosso' (lot 11), estimated between €100,000 and €150,000, which exemplifies his research on shaped canvases where painting transforms into plastic structure. Willem de Kooning's 1974 'Composition rose et blanche' (lot 13), a work on newspaper paper, carries an estimate of €30,000–40,000 and reflects the intense gesture of Abstract Expressionism. Salvo's 1988 painting 'Il porto' (lot 6) is estimated at €22,000–26,000, while a rare early work on paper by Mimmo Rotella (lot 24) is valued between €12,000 and €15,000. Photography is represented by a limited edition shot from Mario Giacomelli (lot 80, estimate €2,000–3,000). The catalog also includes works by Emilio Isgrò, Dino Buzzati, Dadamaino, Arnaldo Pomodoro, and Mario Schifano, among others. This auction offers collectors a solid and articulated opportunity to acquire historicized, quality works from both Italian and international contexts.
