Title of the work:

Milan Factory Portraits 1978-80

That spring day in 1978, the light revealed to me a reality I had never seen before. I remember wondering where I was and if that place was truly an area on the outskirts of Milan. There were subtle vibrations in the atmosphere, and the silent sound of the void was perceptible, enveloped in the scent of the light air, blown by a warm spring breeze. That unforgettable, magical suspension of light truly gave me the opportunity to see through a reality that in the everyday dimension had a very different appearance.

For this charitable initiative, Memorabid is responsible for collecting pre-auction bids.

The final closing of the lot will take place during the event on Monday, November 3rd, at 6:30 PM in the Salone d'Onore at Triennale Milano.

At the end of the pre-auction, the highest bid received for each lot will constitute the starting bid for the in-person event. If there are no further bids, the pre-auction winner will definitively win the lot.

Pre-auction winners will receive an email inviting them to raise a maximum bid, which will be carried forward to the auction on November 3rd to protect the interests of the online pre-auction participant.

Winners of the online pre-auction will also be offered the opportunity to defend their bid by participating remotely at the November 3rd event, via the telephone auction mechanism directly through the CAF Association.
