Stepping back into the decade that changed everything ⏪✨

What an incredible afternoon hosting the 5th edition of PGP Conversations - ‘Back to the 90s: The Making of the Contemporary Art Market’ with a phenomenal panel featuring @ob1london and @eyesthornton , moderated by @annabrady100 🔥🌟

The 1990s fundamentally shifted how we look at, talk about, and collect contemporary art. With the Tate Britain’s new 90s Art and Fashion exhibition, it was the perfect time to reflect on the phenomenon of that defining era.

Thank you to everyone who joined us - until the next one! 🥂

The Starman is back at #SothebysLondon. One of David Bowie’s most striking self-portraits will head to auction for the first time in The Modern British & Irish Art Day sale. See it on view at New Bond Street through 15 October.

In the mid-1990s, Bowie made a small group of just eight self-portraits of this scale. Here, he stares directly out at the viewer, emphasizing his famously asymmetric eyes. Look closely and you’ll see two of his handprints pressed into the paint, creating an unusually intimate connection to the late artist.

This comes ten years after the landmark auction series ‘Bowie/Collector’ offered more than 350 works from David Bowie’s private collection at Sotheby’s London.

Tap the link in bio to register to bid in the auction, presented in partnership with @stregishotels, and plan your visit to the exhibition.

Auctioneer Oliver Barker led the rostrum for the historic ‘Bowie/Collector’ sale in 2016. This three-part auction achieved £32.9 million and set 59 new artist records.

Uma data comum com momentos aleatórios sempre nos faz bem.

Quando se envolve com arte, amor, natureza e tradição tudo fica absolutamente fluido e perfeito.

O tempo sempre nos traz a melhor resposta e o melhor momento.

Aproveite sempre a paisagem para conduzir seu destino.

Que tudo se demonstre, principalmente: Vida, sabedoria e esperança.

Watch as auctioneer Oliver Barker drops the final hammer on ‘The Foujita Lexicon: Works from the Lewis Collection’ and receives white gloves after 100% of lots sell. The evening auction at #SothebysHongKong was the largest collection of Foujita works sold in Asia, achieving a total of HK $67 million.

From the historic collection of Joe Lewis, The Foujita Lexicon features 15 paintings and works on paper by the Japanese-born artist. The group was led by ‘Le rêve,’ an enchanting image of a family of foxes that auctioned for HK $26.5 million.

The Hong Kong Sales continue tomorrow with the Modern Day and Contemporary Day auctions. Register to bid at the link in bio.

The masquerade once watched the people.

Now the people watch the masquerade.

Progress or loss?

SOBALI

Ancient spirits are not always worshipped.
Some are remembered.
Some are feared.
And some endure only through those chosen to carry their burden.

Sobali explores custodianship, inheritance, and the uneasy relationship between humanity and the sacred.

Oil on canvas.
