The auction dedicated to the complete collection of vases from the 100% Make-up series by Alessandro Mendini will officially start on Friday 28 May and will end on Friday 11 June.
In these two weeks the pre-auction phase will take place, a period during which it will be possible to bid on 101 lots.
The complete series of 100 vases will in fact be presented simultaneously both as a single lot (lot 0: complete collection including all 100 vases) and in 100 distinct lots (lot 1-100) of the individual vases of the 100 authors.
The auction will end on Friday 11 June at 4 pm with a live event in which the auctioneer will award the lots starting from the highest bid received in the pre-auction phase, but it will still be possible to participate online directly from the Finarte website to make your bids live.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
In the event that, at any time during the auction, an offer should be made on the complete collection (lot 0), this would automatically invalidate all offers on individual lots and from that moment on it will only be possible to compete only for the complete collection.

Conditions of Sale
Since 2025, the Department of Design & Decorative Arts has distinguished itself by organising two auctions per term, specifically dedicated to the great masters of 20th-century Italian design and the leading names in Murano glassware, as well as national and international decorative arts productions, which constitute the historical and artistic heritage of 20th-century antiques.
The Design Heritage auction selects a limited number of high-quality works of international standing; the Easy Design auction introduces a young and curious audience to the world of collecting, whilst remaining attuned to the needs of a constantly evolving market.
The aim is to make each catalogue a narrative, balanced and well-rounded in its offerings, geared towards collecting and the promotion of the works through collaboration with archives and foundations, as well as detailed and in-depth technical descriptions that fully convey the historical and artistic significance of each piece. The catalogues also include dedicated sections that allow for the presentation of entire collections and groups of works from historic projects by architects and designers.
The Department is always available to appraise works and collections free of charge, offering clients the opportunity to place them in the most suitable and prestigious context, with the utmost confidentiality.
Thanks to the quality of its offering and a wide-reaching and effective communication strategy – which also encompasses the digital world and dedicated online platforms – the Department caters to an international clientele, building a network of enthusiasts, collectors and industry professionals.
