| Lot description: Italy. AD 1932-2015. Angelo Grilli Medal AR 0.800 80 mm, 330 g Portrait of Brichetti / Female figure squatting on legs. Mint State For having revolutionized the concept of medal, Angelo Grilli in June 2015 was awarded in New York the highest international prize as best medal artist. Initiated at a very young age by his father to the plastic arts, he attended the Pavia School of Art, then the Christin School of Art in Milan and finally the Cignaroli Academy in Verona. Already in 1950 he received his first recognition at the V International Biennial of Ravenna. From that place, his artistic career follows one another in national and international exhibitions and awards arriving until 2015 with the aforementioned prize in the United States. In addition to the numerous works of sculpture and ceramics, Angelo Grilli expresses himself with a wide production of medals where further to the great artistic plasticity that is his own and that distinguishes him, he also faces the technological limits of coinage. In fact, some of his medals reach a thickness of up to 40 mm remaining in the size of the rod less than 100 mm. Medal 50th death of Luigi Robecchi Starting price: 600 EUR |  |
