An exhibition of the work of Pablo Picasso has just opened in Milan at the Palazzo Reale, giving local museum goers the first opportunity to see such a large retrospective of the artist’s work in the city since 1953. The Picasso market is however an exclusive club of million dollar buyers.

The Market for Emilio Greco
20/09/2001
Emilio Greco’s sculpture and graphic work drew influence from Greek, Roman and Gothic art as well as modernists, Pablo Picasso and Edgar Degas. Greco (1913-1995) held his first one-man show in 1946 at the Galleria il Cortile Italy, and went on to exhibit internationally in the following decades. In 1956 he was awarded the ‘Premio del Comune di Venezia’ on the occasion of the XXVIII Venice Biennale, and today his work is housed in innumerable public collections, including one of the Italian seats of government, the courtyard of the Senato della Repubblica, Rome.
