Department of Modern and Contemporary Art
Under the direction of Raffaele Cecora, the department deals with paintings, sculptures, drawings, objects of applied art and design attributable to a period that, starting from the mid-19th century, runs throughout the 20th century and arrives today.
Its staff awaits the study, cataloguing, evaluation and placement on the Italian and foreign markets of works on account of sale, both for the enchanting trade and in the form of private negotiation, the latter for pieces of particularly high economic and historical-artistic value.
The department also offers a specialist appraisal service on paintings, sculptures, graphics, design works of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
At the department, there is always a selection of paintings, sculptures, drawings and applied artworks of various price ranges that can be purchased out of the auction.
A scholar and art collector, Raffaele Cecora has a long and articulated experience in the field of the art market, also as a gallery owner. His signature is, in particular, the Ricerca d’Arte project, one of the first Italian galleries to specialize in 20th-century Italian figurative sculpture.
