However, several of Mazzoleni’s more historic offerings went to new homes during the fair’s preview. Two of the works were by Italian Conceptual artist Salvo (1947-2015), a sculptor-turned-painter who joined the Ate Povera movement of the 1960s. His best-known works are colour-drenched depictions of the Italian countryside such as Ottobre (1999), which went for a price in the range of $80,000-250,000.
The gallery also sold a work by Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013), an Italian painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, for a price in the range of $80,000-120,000.
