In a natural evolution from Sotheby’s Summer Season, where Sotheby’s celebrated London as an artistic crossroads, Sotheby’s inaugural sale series, ‘Currents’ brings together a diverse array of sales from Contemporary African to South Asian Art. The series is amplified through a collaboration with Yinka Ilori MBE, a British artist and designer known for his bold use of bright colours and playful designs for furniture and public spaces.

This partnership highlights the significant contributions of immigrants who have enriched the city’s cultural landscape. Ilori, renowned for his bold use of colour and playful designs, has transformed Sotheby’s Café with his unique aesthetic and created a limited edition ceramic piece in collaboration with the ceramics studio 1882 Ltd.. This initiative pays tribute to the diverse creative talents that have made London their home, celebrating the city's dynamic and inclusive artistic community.
