Il Ponte auction house in Milan will hold sales of Modern and Contemporary Art on May 26-27, 2026, followed by Prints and Multiples, with previews from May 22-24 at Palazzo Crivelli. Highlights include Josef Albers' *Study for Homage to the Square: Full Tenor* (1959, estimate €200,000-300,000), Medardo Rosso's wax sculpture *Enfant juif* (€70,000-80,000), and works by Giorgio Morandi, Bruno Munari, Felice Casorati, Giorgio de Chirico, and others spanning the 20th and 21st centuries.
The auction underscores the enduring market strength of both Italian modern masters and international figures like Albers, whose geometric abstraction commands top estimates. The sale also brings attention to lesser-known avant-garde artists such as Alberto Martini and Cagnaccio di San Pietro, reflecting a growing collector interest in rediscovering early 20th-century Italian movements beyond the canonical names.
