On Wednesday Sep 02,2015, Christie’s International said it expects to ask roughly $100 million for an Amedeo Modigliani portrait of a nude woman from 1917
Modigliani’s seller is the art historian Laura Mattioli Rossi, the daughter of acclaimed collector Gianni Mattioli, according to people familiar with the matter. At least 26 other works from the family’s collection are now displayed in the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. Christie’s declined to comment on the identity of the seller
It remains to be seen if this “Reclining Nude” can fetch more than $100 million, but the painting is certainly a sumptuous example of Modigliani’s signature style.
Modigliani was a bohemian painter from Livorno, Italy, who settled in Paris during the early 20th century and gained fame for his portraits of nude women with elongated necks and beady eyes
Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) died of tubercular meningitis in 1920 at age 35 and won praise from artists like Picasso and Chaim Soutine for the modern way he composed his figures
