Artist Insights

— Top 5 Artist — 
Modigliani is one of only fifteen artists in the exclusive "$100 Million Club." Even more, he is among just five with multiple works surpassing this benchmark. 

— Limited Oeuvre — 
Modigliani’s untimely death at 35 left behind a remarkably small body of work—fewer than 400 pieces. His sculptures are even rarer, with only about 26 known examples, most of which reside in museum collections.

 — Rare Series — 
The other editions of this series can be found in public collections worldwide, including Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the exterior of the Casa Natale Modigliani in Rome, which houses the Modigliani Institute archives.

Amedeo Modigliani’s figural works are instantly recognizable and some of the most coveted in art collecting, placing him among the ten most valuable artists of all time. This monumental bronze, conceived in 1910, showcases the artist’s mastery of sculpture—his self-proclaimed true passion and calling. Part of his famed Têtes series, Tête de caryatide embodies Modigliani’s sculptural genius at an incredible scale.
 
It also nods to Modigliani’s Italian heritage, as its caryatid form, inspired by Classical architecture, recalls the famed figures of ancient Greco-Roman temples.
