A K-pop mega star from Korean boy band Big Bang, Choi Seung-hyun aka T.O.P.
is the guest curator of Sotheby’s sale this fall. The unusual partnership
has become both a art world headline and a social media buzz.
To his 6.4 million Instagram followers, it is little surprise that T.O.P. is
an avid collector – he often posts about art and design, to showcase his
latest discoveries from around the world. After awarding Visual Culture Award
at Prudential Eye Award last year, in 2016 he took a step further by teaming
up with Sotheby’s to curate a glittering sale of Asian and Western
contemporary art, filled with works by blue chip names like Andy Warhol, Lee
Ufan, Rudolf Stingel, Sigmar Polke…plus commissioned work by Kohei Nawa, and
Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Infantry (1983) provided by the Japanese collector
Yusaku Maezawa as a support to close friend.
Much thanks to the star’s constant update of the event via Instagram, the
sale reached US$17.4 million, a result exceeded estimation. With this it is
positive to confirm T.O.P’s position in the high art world, and the auction
house’s victory to draw in a younger demographic through social media.
