🎨✏️ Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (US: /ˌmoʊdiːlˈjɑːni/, Italian: [ameˈdɛːo modiʎˈʎaːni]; 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian 🇮🇹 painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. Known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures. He faced criticism during his lifetime but gained posthumous popularity.
👪 Modigliani was born into a Sephardic Jewish family in Livorno, Italy. His mother, Eugénie Garsin, descended from an intellectual family, while his father, Flaminio, was a wealthy mining engineer.
🏠 His birth saved the family from ruin during a financial collapse. He grew up in Livorno, where he developed a close relationship with his mother, who encouraged his early passion for art.
🖌️ He considered himself a painter from a young age and received formal art training in Livorno under Guglielmo Micheli. Despite health setbacks, including tuberculosis, he pursued his artistic ambitions.
🗼 In 1906, he moved to Paris, mingling with artists like Picasso and Brâncuși. He embraced a bohemian lifestyle, living in Montmartre and immersing himself in the avant-garde art scene.
💔 Despite a tumultuous personal life marked by substance abuse and romantic entanglements, he produced prolifically. His unique style emerged, blending influences from Toulouse-Lautrec and Cézanne.
⚰️ Tragically, he died young at 35 due to tubercular meningitis. His legacy endured, and he became an iconic figure of the tormented artist, inspiring generations of creatives after him.
Bidding for La Belle Romaine pushed its price well past its $40m (£24.8m) estimate. Modigliani’s previous auction record was 43.2m euros (£35.8m), set earlier in 2010 in Paris. Another painting by the artist—Jeanne Hébuterne (au chapeau), one of the first portraits he painted of his lover—sold for $19.1m (£11.8m), much higher than its pre-sale estimate of $9–12m (£5.6–7.4m)
Tête is a limestone sculpture by Amedeo Modigliani and is amongst the most expensive works of art ever sold. In 2010 an anonymous telephone bidder purchased Tête for €43.2 million at Christie’s in Paris. The sale was a record at a French auction and placed the sculpture amongst the most expensive ever sold. An anonymous telephone bidder won the auction. Since 1927 the piece had been in the collection of Gaston Lévy, an artist and acquaintance of Modigliani.
There are at least five 📚 catalogues raisonnés 🖼️ of the artist’s work, including a volume by Ambrogio Ceroni last updated in 1972. Arthur Pfannstiel’s books from 1929 and 1956, and Joseph Lanthemann’s from 1970, are widely dismissed today. Milanese scholar Osvaldo Patani produced three volumes: paintings (1991), drawings (1992), and one on the Paul Alexandre period (1994). Meanwhile, Christian Parisot has published Volumes I, II, and IV (in 1970, 1971, and 1996) of a catalogue raisonné.
In 2006, about 6,000 documents from the estate—believed to be the only ones existing—were moved permanently from France to Italy. Parisot, as president of the Modigliani Institut Archives Legales in Rome, had the legal right to authenticate Modigliani’s work.
In November 2010, a painting of a nude by Amedeo Modigliani, part of a series of nudes he created around 1917, sold for more than $68.9m (£42.7m) at an auction in New York—a record for the artist’s work.
