Andrea Giorgi - Memento

- Lot with reserve price - 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 specializing in art sales. If you want to learn more about the artist's entire artistic activity, visit the site giorgiandrea.com Biography: Andrea Giorgi (1974), born in Italy, first an interior designer for 10 years and then a megayacht interior designer for 12 years, has been one of the first Italian digital artists to exhibit his works at international fairs and exhibitions since 2008. Some of his artworks decorate the luxurious rooms 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 around the world. 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 walls, his reticular sculptures, all sculptures that today various artists on Catawiki and other platforms offer in variants and revisits. Generally opposed to much of the current pop art street art trend of too many artists who today buy sculptures (unfortunately often Chinese) only to color them and add famous logos without at least specifying that they do not create the sculpture themselves, Giorgi designs all his sculptures entirely with 3D techniques, which he then prints in Italy with different 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 lost-wax bronze pieces. Unlike most contemporary artists seeking quick success who try to maximize the number of pieces to invent and sales, Giorgi's philosophy learned while working for years in the luxury world is "LESS IS MORE". His annual production and 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 something at auction without a reserve price. This is due both to the high production cost of most sculptures that does not allow for "overstocking" and to protect the value of the sold sculptures. In this way the sculptures end up in the hands of collectors who rarely resell them except after several years, and only non-speculative purchases are avoided. Andrea Giorgi's sculptures are also almost impossible to find as they are currently an exclusive of Collection, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2015 by Giorgi himself, which handles both works by promising young Italian and European artists as well as works by historicized 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. Certificate of authenticity Origin: COLLECTION, Contemporary Loft Art Gallery, Ancona, Italy Shipping method: insured international courier WARNING, we cannot ship to Russia-Belarus and China
