Among the central highlights of the auction is a section dedicated to Aeropainting and Italian Futurism, a movement that successfully conveyed speed, dynamism, and the modernity of the new century through painting. Artists such as Gerardo Dottori, Tullio Crali, and Roberto Marcello Baldessari exemplify the imaginative power and evolution of Futurist language, with works that combine visionary impulse and compositional rigor. Dottori is represented by the exceptional Volo sull’oceano (Flight Over the Ocean) from 1929, a large oil on canvas that embodies the aerial and lyrical spirit of his art. Crali presents Volo sospeso (Suspended Flight), dated 1934, a perfect example of his vision suspended between technique and poetry. Completing this focus is Baldessari’s refined pastel, where the concept of simultaneity takes shape through a vibrant orchestration of colors and lines.

Alongside Futurism, the auction offers a varied yet coherent overview of 20th and 21st-century art—a journey through the decades that reflects the plurality of languages and artistic experimentation. Among the leading figures of conceptual and analytical art is Paolo Scheggi with Zone riflesse (Reflected Zones, 1962), a work of rigorous and poetic three-dimensionality that highlights the tension between space and perception. Capogrossi’s unmistakable mark, seen in Superficie 647, continues to fascinate, while Lucio Fontana’s material and gestural research takes shape in a rare glazed ceramic focused on the theme of the bullfight.

The auction also features significant exponents of early 20th-century figurative art. Felice Casorati is represented with Fanciullo nello studio (Boy in the Studio), a work of intense psychological introspection, while Giacomo Balla appears with two rare early pieces: an intense Male Portrait from the early years of the century and a pastel on paper from the Villa Borghese series—both bearing witness to the evolution of one of Futurism’s founding fathers toward luministic and formal experimentation.

The catalog then expands with a more international scope, featuring works by iconic European and American artists. Among them is a rare screenprint by Andy Warhol, $1, one of the most iconic symbols of pop culture and seriality. It is joined by the elegant Composition by Fernand Léger, a gouache on paper originally conceived as a design for a ceramic work, embodying the plastic and constructive language typical of the French artist.

The auction also includes major names from the Italian Art Informel movement, such as Afro Basaldella, represented with Nero medio (Medium Black), a documented and exhibited work in which line and material blend into a deeply abstract language. Equally noteworthy are Leon by Karel Appel, one of the leading figures of the CoBrA group, and Still Life with Flask and Bottle by Renato Guttuso, an example of the vibrant painting style that characterized his entire body of work.
