AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Historic and extremely rare piece from the Andrea Giorgi collection; only 5 specimens were produced instead of the initially planned 50 because it was then no longer possible to produce the curved cases, 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 leading online platforms specializing in art sales.

Biography:
Andrea Giorgi (1974), born in Italy, initially worked as an interior designer for 10 years and then as a megayacht interior designer for 12 years. He has been one of the first Italian digital artists to exhibit his works at fairs and international exhibitions since 2008. Some of his artworks decorate the luxurious spaces of prestigious yachts. One of his works was purchased by Ferrero, thus becoming part of an important private collection of international contemporary art.
Since 2016 also a digital sculptor, his sculptures are scattered worldwide. Andrea Giorgi was one of the first sculptors to sell on Catawiki, founder in 2016 with his pugilists, the characters that come out of magazines and from walls, his reticular sculptures, all works that today various artists on Catawiki and other platforms offer in variants and reinterpretations.

Generally opposed to much of the current pop art and street art trend where too many artists today buy sculptures (unfortunately often Chinese) to then color them and add famous logos without at least specifying that they did not create the sculpture, Giorgi designs all his sculptures entirely with 3D techniques, which he then prints in Italy with various technologies (from the simplest and cheapest plastic jet to the more complex and expensive 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 bronze pieces in lost-wax casting. Unlike most contemporary artists chasing quick success by trying to maximize the number of pieces to invent and sales, Giorgi’s philosophy, learned during years working in the luxury world, is “LESS IS MORE.”

His production and annual sales are deliberately very limited, both for the production 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 prevents them from being “resold,” and to safeguarding the value of the sculptures sold. In this way the sculptures end up in the hands of collectors who hardly ever 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 young promising Italian and European artists as well as works 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.
