Sarah Andelman, co-founder of Colette and an iconic figure of contemporary creativity, unveils a bold and eclectic exhibition at Sotheby’s, blending art, design and culture with her visionary style.


Sarah Andelman at Sotheby’s: an exceptional collaboration

This project highlights her incomparable taste for design, fashion and contemporary art. Since the closure of Colette in 2017, Andelman has established herself as a key figure in the world of creative collaborations, and this exhibition confirms her role as a bold and refined curator. At the heart of the exhibition imagined by Sarah Andelman is an unprecedented dialogue between luxury and skate culture, two worlds that are complete opposites but that she manages to merge with audacity. Exploring the boundaries between the elitism of art and the raw energy of the street, Andelman highlights iconic creations: skateboards turned works of art, signed by renowned contemporary artists, rub shoulders with haute couture pieces reinterpreting the codes of streetwear. This mix illustrates a major trend in contemporary culture, where skateboarding, long perceived as a counter-cultural movement, is now establishing itself as a source of inspiration for luxury brands and collectors. Between immersive art videos, limited edition sneakers and iconic collaborations, the exhibition captures the essence of a lifestyle where authenticity and exclusivity coexist, transforming everyday objects into symbols of status and creativity.




A Dialogue between Art and Contemporary Culture

The exhibition, organized as part of a series of prestigious events at Sotheby’s, offers a fascinating dialogue between disciplines. By selecting works of art, design objects and rare pieces, Andelman expresses a vision where art transcends traditional categories to become a way of life. This eclectic mix reflects her unique approach, which fuses high culture and popular influences with a striking modernity.

Through this exhibition, Sarah Andelman celebrates emerging talents while paying tribute to the great names who have marked the history of art and design. Her curious and inclusive gaze inspires a diverse audience, ranging from art lovers to industry professionals. With this collaboration, Sotheby’s affirms its commitment to redefining the codes of artistic presentation, by partnering with personalities who push the boundaries of creativity. The exhibition is not limited to a simple presentation of objects. It is conceived as an immersive experience where each visitor can feel the intimate and poetic universe of Sarah Andelman. Interactive installations and bold staging allow visitors to discover the creative process that guides her choices, making this event unique in the current cultural landscape.
