Hi all,
It’s the start of a new week, and we’re somehow already well into August. Only six weeks or so until the art world calendar kicks off again and the cycle begins once more.
This summer we made it to some of the most anticipated graduate degree shows in London, including the Slade, RA Schools and Goldsmiths. If you missed our last three posts, you can catch up on our top picks from this year’s graduating class. We can’t wait to see what they go on to achieve.
It feels like we haven’t properly caught up with you all on what’s been happening across the art world recently, so consider this our attempt to get both ourselves and our paid subscribers back up to speed.
First up, we’re guessing by now that everyone has seen the new FRAME x Sotheby’s collaboration.
In June last year, the Los Angeles clothing brand, co-founded by Jens Grede (who also happens to be an investor in Substack), launched its first collaboration with the legendary auction house.
Now they’re back for a second drop.
The collection consists of Frame’s signature premium basics, embroidered with Sotheby’s branding. (It’s luxury merch, essentially). But now that we think about it, we’ve never actually seen anyone wearing it out in the wild. Have you? Do you own a piece? We’d love to know.
This second campaign has also come with a much bigger marketing push, bringing several of Sotheby’s senior specialists and executives in front of the camera to model the collection.
If you can see this, that means you’re reading artplace for free. By joining our paid tier you can gain access to the full archive and read all future posts. Today, we’re talking more about the Frame x Sotheby’s collab, another art world/brand crossover that’s caught our eye, the great wealth transfer and art world parties, plus everything else you need to know this week.
