Daniella Luxembourg, a notable art dealer, will auction 15 pieces from her extensive collection at Sotheby's for over $30 million. This collection, titled 'Im Spazio: The Space of Thoughts,' features prominent post-war Italian artists, including Lucio Fontana and Alberto Burri, alongside sculptures from American artists like Alexander Calder. Each piece embodies a theme of disrupted surfaces, reflecting a departure from traditional forms. Luxembourg's decision to sell stems from a desire to reevaluate and refresh her collection, indicative of her known foresight in art collecting and market trends.
"We got a call saying Daniella was considering selling about 15 works from her collection—which is much larger—from her New York townhouse. She decided, as many people do in life, that it's time to take stock, to go in a different direction."
"I was never drawn to a single movement or name, but rather to works that spoke to me viscerally—pieces with energy, tension, and stories waiting to be unravelled... by reinventing a new vocabulary."
