Preview Auction ‘Murano Glass’ on March 26, 2025
All the major manufacturers are represented with exciting and sometimes very rare designs in the ‘Murano Glass’ auction on March 26. The sculptural vase made of green foamed glass by Napoleone Martinuzzi, designed in 1930 for Venini, deserves special attention; it has an estimated price of €30,000–40,000. Martinuzzi had been experimenting with the heavily bubbled glass since 1928 and created models inspired by antique vessel shapes, among other things. The company owner Paolo Venini had the ability to attract great creative designers to his glass factory. Our offer includes designs by Carlo Scarpa, Fulvio Bianconi and Tobia Scarpa, who is represented by a beautiful ‘Occhi’ vase in the colors white and deep dark violet.

Preview Auction ‘Modern Art’ March 26, 2025
The Modern Art collection boasts some impressive names. Joan Miró’s aquatint etching ‘Escalade vers la lune’ (1969) enchants with its free composition of symbolic forms and the artist’s typically suggestive use of color (estimated price € 8,000 – 12,000). Marc Chagall’s lithograph ‘Le Verger’ is one of a series of lithographs in which the artist illustrated the mythical story of Daphnis and Chloé by the Greek author Longus (estimated price €8,000 – 10,000). In his unmistakable artistic language, Chagall created a bucolic dream landscape in which Mediterranean nature has blossomed and humans and animals live together in peace.iterrane Natur erblüht ist und ein friedvolles Miteinander von Menschen und Tieren herrscht.

Post Auction Report ‘Art Jewelry & Jewels’. Post Auction Sale until 10.01.2025
The auction’s catalog cover already announced the favorites and proved to be right. The three lots by French artist Claude Lalanne were in the spotlight of the evening. The ‘Groseilles’ bangle and necklace (lots 820 and 819) with a delicate reddish patina were knocked down for €4,000 and €9,500 respectively and found their new owners in the USA. The five unique finger casts with botanical ornaments (lot 821) caused particular excitement in the auction room. Bidders on all platforms and on the telephone tried to win the lot, which was called at €5,000. With a hammer price of €21,000, a private collection finally prevailed and secured a piece of contemporary history.
