The universe of auction houses recorded respectable numbers in 2020 despite Covid, sometimes better than 2019. Numbers growing, unlike art galleries and museums. In a nutshell, this is the balance sheet contained in this in-depth study by Corriere della Sera published on 21 December.
The artists who recorded the best results are Boetti, Schifano and Melotti. In particular, Mario Schifano’s Anemic Landscape I was sold by Christie’s in Milan for 644 thousand euros, during the “Thinking Italian Milan” auction on November 4, 2020.
For Bolaffi Arte, Mario Schifano created the work “il Gusto” for the series “The five senses“.
