The live auction will take place at Sotheby's New York starting September 30, 2022, following Pattinson's public execution of six hand-picked works from September 23 to 20, 2022. The fine arts company has yet to share the full details of the event, but a few of the selections the actor has made include Richard Serra’s Rotation #9 (2011), Lynette Yiadom-Boakye's Old Rope (2005), and De Kooning’s Untitled (1964).
“Curating this group of paintings has been a really exciting process and an honour for me," Pattinson shared in an interview. "To be able to experience and have a dialogue with these works according to my taste—and to place massive titans of 20th-century art next to living artists—has been really satisfying. As an actor, I have always felt a certain amount of synesthesia between different art forms and being able to connect them together—whether that is a sculpture or a song or an acting part, all at the same time. Acting has made me realize that there is an interconnectedness between all art forms, and it made the process of curating the sale a fascinating and fun experience for me.”
