An astonishing portraitist, a sculptor in his spare time, a friend of Picasso and Apollinaire, influenced by the Italian Renaissance and classicism, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) left a mysterious body of work that revolutionized the iconography of women. And his legend is matched only by the rarity of his work: 25 sculptures and around 400 paintings. His formative years took him from Tuscany to Venice, before settling in Paris in 1906, then the European capital of the artistic avant-garde. Between Montmartre and Montparnasse, "Modi" became one of the figures of Parisian bohemia. Today, his paintings (particularly nudes) reach record prices at auction. Modigliani, who lived in poverty, is today one of the most expensive artists in the world.
