ElmonX and Bridgeman Images present Amedeo Modigliani’s Three Nude Studies — the paintings that scandalised Paris, broke auction records, and changed modern art forever. Now available as digital collectibles for the first time.
ElmonX, in partnership with Bridgeman Images, is releasing three of the most iconic and valuable nude paintings in the history of modern art as a curated NFT collection. Modigliani’s nudes are not just paintings — they are cultural flashpoints. When first exhibited in Paris in 1917, police shut down the show on opening day. A century later, these same works have sold for some of the highest prices ever recorded at auction.
Together, the three paintings in this collection have commanded nearly $400 million at auction. On Wednesday 1st April 2026 at 9AM PT, they arrive on ElmonX as officially licensed digital collectibles, available globally on the ElmonX app (iOS and Android) and at ElmonX.com.
The Collection
Two drops. Three masterworks. One unmissable day.
Large Seated Nude | Amedeo Modigliani
One of Modigliani’s most celebrated seated nudes, part of the revolutionary series painted between 1916 and 1919 that scandalised Paris and redefined the nude for the modern era. Works from this iconic series have achieved extraordinary multi-million-dollar results at auction, reflecting their enduring power and desirability among the world’s most serious collectors.
Reclining Nude (On the Left Side) | Amedeo Modigliani
Sold for $157.2 million at Sotheby’s New York in 2018 — the highest price in the auction house’s entire history. A monumental work from Modigliani’s legendary nude series, it stands as one of the most important and celebrated paintings of the artist’s career.

The painting that shook the art world. Modigliani’s Nu Couché sold for a staggering $170.4 million at Christie’s New York in 2015, making it the second most expensive painting ever sold at auction at the time. Part of the series that prompted police to shut down Modigliani’s only solo exhibition in 1917, this remains one of the most valuable and recognisable paintings in existence.
