Victoria Beckham Showcases Art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yves Klein, Gerhard Richter at Dover Street Store
The British designer has teamed with Sotheby’s for a small art show at her store that will take place until Feb. 10.
LONDON — Victoria Beckham’s next pursuit is an artistic one, and it’s happening at her London store on Dover Street.
In cooperation with Sotheby’s, Beckham is hosting the works of Yoshitomo Nara, George Condo, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joan Mitchell, Gerhard Richter and Yves Klein before they go under the hammer in London and New York. The art will be on display until Feb. 10.
“Art has always been a source of inspiration and over the years, I’ve so enjoyed learning and educating myself. It has the power to spark ideas, evoke emotion – and in the case of contemporary art in particular – it speaks to the world around us,” said Beckham.
She, and her husband David Beckham, are also collectors. Beckham said “collecting is about more than just investing or acquiring beautiful objects. It’s about finding pieces that bring us real joy. The more I delve into art history and progress on my journey as a collector, the more captivated I am by it,” she added.
The couple have become regulars at art fairs, especially Art Basel in Miami.
Beckham has said that the first time she saw art up close was at Elton John’s house in the south of France.
“I remember Elton having this enormous Julian Schnabel in his dining room. The scale was just immense, and I just remember being so mesmerized by it,” WWD reported in 2023. “I feel that as I get older, art is something that I’m really enjoying with my husband, something that we’re educating ourselves about.”
