Victoria Beckham teams up with Sotheby’s to present a collaborative exhibition in which highlights from Sotheby’s Old Master Paintings sale will be presented in the contemporary setting of Victoria Beckham’s Dover Street store in Mayfair.
The exhibition opened on 22 June, featuring 16 portraits selected by Victoria. Presenting masterpieces by renowned artists, including Sir Peter Paul Rubens and Lucas Cranach the Elder, the exhibition celebrates the innate beauty of Old Master Paintings and the enduring appeal of portraiture in art.
Selected by Victoria from Sotheby’s forthcoming July Old Master sales, the works include examples of portraitures by some of the most celebrated artists of the genre, from the Renaissance and the Dutch Golden Age to the British 18th century. From famous duchesses and viscounts, to self-portraits and sitters entirely unknown, the portraits in the exhibition tell the remarkable stories of both the sitters and the artists.
The exhibition is opeed until 27th June in Dover Street, ahead of Sotheby’s Old Master Evening sale on 4th July 2018.
