Jay Chou and Sotheby's team up to launch "Contemporary Curated" auction series in Asia

Bringing together entertainment and fine art, Taiwanese singer Jay Chou and Sotheby's have announced they are coming together to launch the inaugural "Contemporary Curated" auction series in Asia.

A music icon and art collector, Chou has personally curated every piece in the auction, including Jean-Michel Basquiat’s iconic Untitled, 1985. Chou has also selected three sets of concert outfits worn during his "The Invincible" seventh world tour, with proceeds going to charity.

The auction will span an evening sale on 18 June as well as an online day sale from 10 - 22 June.

Contemporary Curated: Asia is produced in collaboration with Enviseam and in partnership with K11 Group.

"I have always believed in the power of art – a medium of expression that sees no boundary or limitation. It isn’t something you need to try to get close to – by nature, it envelops our life each and every day. I feel that I have a mission to share my feelings about the art that inspires and motivates me. Through my music, my filming projects, my social media and by collaborating with Sotheby’s, I hope more people will understand what art brings to our lives. My dream is that this collaboration will leave audiences with different ways of understanding and appreciating the art that surrounds us every day," said Chou.
