Robilant+Voena's strong performance at Frieze Masters has been reported by WWD, focussing on sales of works by Lucio Fontana.
Hikmat Mohammed writes: "The gallery Robilant+Voena, which specializes in Old Masters and post-War Italian art, sold three works by Lucio Fontana, two of which contain the artist’s signature slashes. “Concetto Spaziale, Attese” sold with an asking price 1.6 million euros and “Concetto Spaziale” with an asking price of 895,000 euros. The other work was a ceramic, going for 200,000 euros.
