Consider that the work of this Italian painter of the '900, like many others, has undergone a significant decrease in the value of the works on the market. Up to the year 2000 there were awards exceeding 100 euros, then from 2001 the drop until today, where the works, with the exception of certain masterpieces, today do not exceed 25 euros.
But it is also true that there are no real masterpieces that go up for auction and to prevent these works from being depreciated it is preferable to treat them in "Private Sale" or directly in the gallery. A growing way of buying and selling.
Investment value for rare works ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – for minor works ⭐️⭐️. However, it remains interesting to evaluate the purchase, as the proposed price can be considered decidedly lower than the real value.
