AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Historical and extremely rare piece from the Andrea Giorgi collection; only 5 specimens were produced instead of the initially planned 50 because the curved display cases could no longer be produced, so this is the last available specimen.

Andrea Giorgi has been among the TOP 10 sculptors of 2024 and among the TOP 50 artists out of 129,000 in 2025 on one of the main online platforms specialized in art sales.

Biography:
Andrea Giorgi (1974), born in Italy, initially worked as an interior designer for 10 years and then as an interior designer for mega-yachts for 12 years. He was one of the first Italian digital artists to exhibit his works at fairs and international exhibitions starting in 2008. Some of his artworks adorn the luxurious rooms of prestigious yachts. One of his works was purchased by Ferrero, thus joining an important private collection of international contemporary art.
Since 2016 also a digital sculptor, his sculptures are spread worldwide. Andrea Giorgi was one of the first sculptors to sell on Catawiki, founded in 2016 with his boxers, the characters that emerge from magazines and from walls, his reticular sculptures—all pieces that today various artists on Catawiki and other platforms offer in variants and reinterpretations.
Generally opposed to much of the current pop art street art trend where too many artists today buy sculptures (often Chinese) to then color them and add famous logos without even specifying that they did not create the sculpture, Giorgi designs all his sculptures entirely with 3D techniques, which he then prints in Italy using various technologies (from the simplest and most economical plastic jet to the more complex and costly laser prints). The laser sculptures are then hand-painted by the artist. Finally, he collaborates with a renowned Italian foundry for the production of his most exclusive series, the lost-wax bronze sculptures. Unlike most contemporary artists chasing quick success who try to maximize the number of pieces to create and sell, Giorgi’s philosophy learned from years working in the luxury world is “LESS IS MORE.”
His annual production and sales are deliberately very limited, both for the creation of new pieces and for weekly sales on Catawiki.
Moreover, today it is almost impossible to purchase anything at auction without a reserve price.
This is due both to the high production cost of most sculptures, which does not allow for “undervaluation,” and to safeguarding the value of sold sculptures. In this way the sculptures end up in the hands of collectors who rarely resell them unless after several years, and speculative purchases are avoided. Andrea Giorgi’s sculptures are also virtually unobtainable as they are currently an exclusive of Collection, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2015 by Giorgi himself, which handles works by both promising young Italian and European artists and by established artists including Rabarama, Walter Valentini, Piero Gilardi, Aubertin, Roberta Coni, Annalù Boeretto, Salvatore Provino, Paolo Radi, Ceribelli, Giuseppe Amadio, Riccardo Gusmaroli, Giorgio Gost, Invader, Kaws, etc.
