A collection of 48 artworks belonging to a single owner is being auctioned with an estimated value of more than £200 million, according to reports. The top work is a Modigliani painting, which leads the sale and carries the highest estimate for any single-owner collection ever offered at auction in Europe, the outlets say. The auction brings together multiple works by prominent artists across the collection, with all items presented for sale as part of one consolidated offering rather than separate consignments. The bidding is expected to draw attention from international collectors given the scale of the estimates and the prominence of the lead piece. Both reports describe the collection’s overall significance in the auction market, highlighting that the sale is unusually large for a single-owner collection and that the Modigliani work is the focal point of the estimates. Details on the auction date, location, and individual lots are not included in the provided excerpts. The reports agree on the lead Modigliani painting and the magnitude of the collection’s estimated value and record-setting claim.
