Nurturing new growth from old wood

It is an absolute thrill to introduce myself as the new Editor in Chief of Sotheby’s Magazine. As we mark Sotheby’s 280th anniversary, it is an honor to present a new vision, which celebrates our rich heritage while introducing fresh storytelling that resonates with our global audience.

As you will read over the coming weeks, our relaunch issue emphasizes our commitment to excellence, with features covering creative pioneers from Titus Kaphar to Lee Miller and cultural champions from Dorothy Miller to Reed and Delphine Krakoff. I am delighted to have Lucas Oliver Mill, Orna Guralnik and Ruby Guralnik Dawes bring their insights to new columns that will consider collectors as an almost anthropological type, unpacking walls and unpicking minds, respectively. We’ve also tapped our very own specialists to share their wisdom on the breadth of art and objects that pass through Sotheby’s salerooms. These articles, among others, showcase the dynamic content you can expect from us.

At Sotheby’s, we celebrate art, culture and luxury, while fostering a platform for dialogue and discovery. Our mission is to bring you closer to the artists, collectors and visionaries shaping our world. We are not just observers but active participants in the grand conversation of culture. My hope is that you will join our community and, from these stories, cultivate new ways of seeing.

I am excited about the journey ahead and look forward to sharing it with you.
