Charles Loupot sparked a frenzy of bidding for his never-before- This auction included a very notable Art Deco design: Guillermo Laborde's 1930 "1er Campeonato Mundial Football / Uruguay," which promoted the first ever FIFA World Cup in Montevideo. The charming design combined with the historical significance of this work made for a very desirable collector's item. The poster exceeded its estimate of $2,500-$3,000 with a winning bid of $8,400. Luciano Achille Mauzan inspired further ardor for uncommon works of the 1920s and 1930s. This auction featured two of his never-before- Similarly, Marcello Dudovich proved his prowess with early 20th century lithographs, especially his large-scale works.
