Gigi Bon, the Rhinoceros, Venice, and the Unbearable Heaviness of Being
This article analyses the oeuvre of the Venetian artist Gigi Bon whose distinctive attitude to her city and the rhinoceros inspired this special issue and the exhibition which preceded it. To enter the Studio d’Arte “Mirabilia” of Gigi Bon is to be introduced to a world of sculptures, prints, and objects of wonder in the tradition of the sixteenth-century Wünderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities.

The Aura of Luxury
This article seeks to establish a direct relationship between objects of holy veneration in the past, and the modern-day veneration of luxury brands. It positions itself within the work of Walter Benjamin and the “aura” of cult objects articulated in his seminal essay, The Work of Art in an Age of Mechanical Reproduction. This positioning is not coincidental, but has been driven in part by the use of Benjamin’s arguments at the highest level by l…

Luxury is one of the key words of our time, driving a multimillion dollar global industry, and used ubiquitously to describe exclusive objects and aspirational lifestyles. However, defining the concept in concrete terms is more elusive and problematic. Part of the definitional problem lies in the longer history and use of this concept.
