## About Nanda Vigo

Nanda Vigo (1936–2020) was an Italian designer and artist based in Milan. Active across art, architecture, and industrial design, she is associated with the international ZERO movement, which pursued light, space, and monochrome abstraction as alternatives to postwar expressionism. Her practice encompassed glass, metal, and light-based works that blurred boundaries between fine art and functional design. Vigo maintained a lifelong presence in the Milanese art and design community, contributing to exhibitions and collaborations throughout her career. Collectors encounter her work at the intersection of postwar Italian design and kinetic-concrete art, where her objects and installations remain relevant to both design and contemporary-art markets.

## Common works and media

Vigo is known for glass-and-metal sculptural objects, light-based installations, and furniture or industrial-design pieces. Works may include chrome-plated and glass constructions, neon or fluorescent light pieces, and limited-edition design objects. Collectors may also encounter drawings, exhibition posters, and photographic documentation of installations.

## Market and appraisal context

Nanda Vigo's work appears in both design and fine-art contexts, reflecting her dual practice. Factors that may affect appraisal include the work's medium (glass, metal, light installations, or design objects), whether it is a unique piece or part of a production edition, provenance documentation, condition of optical or electronic components, and exhibition or publication history. Her ZERO-movement affiliation adds institutional interest. Comparable auction results should be consulted for individual works, as pricing varies significantly between unique installations and editioned design pieces.
