Ralf Kokke is a Dutch painter whose deep commitment to the craft spans every aspect, from creating his own paints to studying the layering and textures that make each piece a personal exploration. His works draw heavily from both personal memories and collective human experiences, exploring life’s challenges and the lingering mysteries of dreams and childhood. Inspired by self-taught folk artists like André Bauchant and Camille Bombois, as well as early Renaissance figures like Masolino and Ghirlandaio, Kokke’s pieces combine raw texture with narrative depth, aiming to bridge personal stories with universal themes. Ever the student of his own craft, he continually refines his techniques to achieve a balance of modern sensibility and timeless resonance.

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.
