Also made of ceramics, as well as by an artist of Spanish descent, lot 51, The Brush pot by Salvador Dali. Crafted and hand-painted by the surrealist himself, this pot was created for the interior of the meeting place in Figueres where Dalí and his friends met to write the humorous Dadaist magazine “El Senyor Pancraci” to issue. This very rare object is accompanied by a handwritten statement of authenticity by the artist's secretary and also renowned Dalí specialist Robert Descharnes. Valuation € 10,000 – 15,000.
The highlight of this auction is the impressive sculpture by the hand of CoBrA celebrity Corneille.

This monumental bronze, concerning one Epreuve d'Artiste, has the attractive valuation of € 40,000 – 60,000.
Also worth mentioning is the large number of artworks belonging to the pop art movement. This section will start with seven works by or by Andy Warhol, of which lot 95 is the most sought after internationally. Tomato Soup from the series Campbell's Soup I (1968) can be considered one of the most iconic works in Warhol's oeuvre and has a valuation of € 25,000 – 30,000.
'Iconic' seems to be the theme of this auction, as lot 103, by Roy Lichtenstein, can also embody this word. the famous Forms in Space shows you the American flag made from Lichtenstein's famous dots and stripes and this eye-catcher also only has a valuation of € 25,000 – 30,000.
The ZERO movement is indispensable in an international auction like this one, where lots by French and Italian painters, among others, are also offered. Lot 128, however, is by the Dutch artist Jaap Egmond and is very noteworthy because of its extremely complex composition. Valuation for this relief € 5,000 – 8,000.
Lot 135 is one of the most remarkable works in this auction, but very attractive nonetheless. Angelo Brescianini used neither pencil nor brush, but fired bullets at his aluminum canvas and created eye-pleasing compositions. Valuation € 2,000 – 3,000.
This auction will close with contemporary Asian art, with the last two lots by Ayako Rokkaku. This artist only works by painting with her fingers in the famous Japanese pictorial Manga tradition and promises to be a good investment.
