The sculpture auction department spans all periods and major artistic movements, from ancient sculpture to that of the 19th and 20th centuries, covering various geographical regions.
The auction offerings include small and large sculptures made of wood, bronze, marble, stone, terracotta, and ivory. The department also offers collectible items such as ancient marbles, decorative sculptural works, and religious subjects.
Sculpture is an expressive medium with ancient roots and a millennia-long history. Each work tells a great deal about the traditions, history, and culture of the people from which it originates; the discovery of a sculpture is like a journey to a distant place and time—it’s like meeting the people who created, touched, and often venerated it. The three-dimensional nature of the work allows for a sensory experience of the piece in the round. These are just a few reasons why interest in sculpture is so high in the world of collecting.
Also, in the realm of classical subjects, a particularly notable result is the sale of “Ave Caesar! Morituri te salutant“, a bronze sculpture signed at the base by Pius Adamowitsch Welonski (1849 – 1931), a Polish sculptor, which fetched €9,424.
Other major sales from the 19th and 20th-century sculpture auctions feature the names of Luciano Minguzzi, Cleto Tomba, Eugenio Maccagnani, and Arthur Marie du Passage.
