b. 1993
The most recent production by Italian artist Filippo Cegani, b. 1993, questions the commodification of Christian religious iconography in the post-digital age. Imagery and symbols associated with faith are approached through a spectrum that fuses influences of classical art and contemporary media channels. Hyper-real and intensely close-up paintings of holy cards and divine statues celebrate the binary relationship between pain and ecstasy. Filtered through the author's personal reflection, the pieces are consistently endowed with a crisp and glossy touch. Cegani's work has been exhibited at Galeria Fran Reus, Palma; Grove, London; Plan X Gallery, Capri; Better Go South, Berlin and IRL NYC, among many others.

Popcorn and cascade bidding:
If a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 2 minutes from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
