Modern and Contemporary Art

The Modern and Contemporary Art Department is certainly one of the highlights of Arcadia Auction House and one that has given us much satisfaction over the years. The Department dealing in modern and contemporary art auctions has grown steadily in recent years, in line with the increased interest that this type of art observes on the market today. It is not only the expertise, competence and high specialisation of our experts that are the secret of the success of modern and contemporary art auctions, but also the assiduous and scrupulous work carried out by all those who work in the Modern and Contemporary Art Department of Arcadia Auction House.

The Department's main activities are to identify and select works of value, appraise them according to the most important and up-to-date appraisal criteria and, if the conditions are right, to include them in the catalogues of the modern and contemporary art auctions organised periodically. Contemporary art auctions offer rare or unpublished works signed by the most important authors of the 20th century, unique opportunities to acquire works of high artistic and economic value. Arcadia's modern and contemporary art auctions are excellent occasions to make targeted investments with a high rate of return, as well as opportunities to acquire works for one's own collection and to enrich private or representative settings. In the Modern and Contemporary Art Auction catalogues you can find paintings, sculptures, photographs and graphics by the most important Italian artists of the 20th century and the Masters of International Art.

The best-performing artists at our auctions are, in addition to Lucio Fontana, Giorgio Morandi and Alighiero Boetti, the most important exponents of Futurism including Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Tato, Gino Severini, Giulio d'Anna and others. Arcadia's contemporary art auctions often include some of the most important names of Roman Pop Art such as Mario Schifano, Tano Festa, Franco Angeli, of the Forma 1 Group including Piero Dorazio, Carla Accardi and those of the Roman School including Mario Mafai, Alberto Ziveri, Scipione.

Our experts take care of following clients through all the steps necessary to sell works in the best possible way, from appraisal to certification of authenticity, without neglecting to organise the catalogues so that they are always excellent editorial products, capable of enhancing the value of each individual work. Modern and contemporary art auctions are fundamental events for art lovers, but not only: auctions are opportunities to sell the works in your possession with the guarantee of achieving excellent results. The most important works delivered to us are promoted in our official channels, as well as in dedicated advertising on online promotional channels, through the Arcadia website, brochures and more.

The Department organises exhibitions prior to contemporary art auctions, giving prospective buyers and investors the opportunity to admire the works included in the catalogues, with the aim of stimulating participation in the auctions and involving a highly interested public, thus increasing the likelihood of selling your assets.
