SALE 341
Auction details
<< Today, the Franco Fossati Foundation needs help to make a rebirth of WOW possible that does not make us regret its glorious past.
This is the purpose of this auction: to raise the funds necessary for WOW to continue to exist and survive. We are not selling off the “family jewels”, as this would be inconsistent with our primary conservation vocation, but we have preferred to ask for help from well-known Italian comic book authors, who have responded en masse and with great enthusiasm by donating original works to raise a sufficient amount of money.
If you are a comic book enthusiast, take part in the auction, take home a unique masterpiece and help us preserve a treasure.
We will soon find ourselves in front of a new museum, shouting together once again: WOW!!! >>
(Luigi F. Bona - director of WOW Spazio Fumetto)
The auction will be preceded by an exhibition in Milan, offering collectors the opportunity to carefully examine all the lots, presented and enhanced by the splendid setting of our exhibition venue.

Conditions of Sale
Finarte consolidates and renews its collaboration with Urania Casa d’Aste by preparing in synergy the next auction dedicated entirely to the original Tables and Illustrations by the great masters of comics.
The sale will take place in October in the prestigious Roman headquarters of Finarte, for which our experts are selecting works from the early 1900s to today, ranging from Disney tables to superheroes Made in USA, from great international masters to erotic tables, from illustrations of the early twentieth century to the cinematographic sketches.
The works will be presented in the catalog with an accurate historical-critical filing, which tends to present and enhance the individual lots in the best possible way to ensure their visibility and the best sales result. The auction will be preceded by an exhibition in Rome, to offer collectors the opportunity to carefully examine all the lots, presented and enhanced by the splendid setting of our exhibition site.
