"Pauline Karpidas: The London Collection" Launches at Sotheby's in London

LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 05: Sotheby’s transforms its New Bond Street entrance with a gilded Magritte-inspired gateway to an immersive exhibition in celebration of Pauline Karpidas: The London Collection at Sotheby's on September 05, 2025 in London, England. Created in collaboration with Replica and dominated by two monumental eyes filled with clouded Magrittean pupils, the façade acts as a surreal portal and a bold marker of the scale of the exhibition inside. Featuring masterpieces by Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, René Magritte, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons, alongside bespoke furniture and design pieces by Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, Mattia Bonetti and André Dubreuil, the exhibition is on view to the public until 16th September, ahead of a live Evening Auction on the 17th, a Day Auction on the 18th, and an online sale closing on the 19th.
