Art of reinvention: Victoria Beckham teams up with Sotheby's as curator
Briefly

Victoria Beckham, known for her evolution from a Spice Girl to a respected fashion designer, is now entering the world of art curation. Collaborating with Sotheby's, she is hosting an exhibition featuring works from iconic 20th and 21st-century artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francis Bacon. Beckham believes that collecting art goes beyond investment; it’s about finding joy in the pieces. The exhibition at her flagship store in London is designed to combine the intimacy of a gallery with her luxurious fashion aesthetic, offering a unique experience until the artworks are put up for auction.
Art, Beckham has said, has always been a source of inspiration. Collecting is about more than just investing or acquiring beautiful objects. It's about finding pieces that bring us real joy.
Haleigh Stoddard, Sotheby's head of contemporary curations, says Richard Prince reinvented himself during every decade of his career; he always challenged himself to do something completely different.
Beckham is known as the queen of reinvention, now trying her hand at art curation, hosting an exhibition of some of the biggest names of the 20th and 21st century.
On a rainy Friday morning, there is joy in the way the childlike playfulness of the images sits in contrast to Beckham's tailored silhouettes and muted shades.
