Robert Pattinson Curates Sotheby’s Auction of His Favorite ‘Cosmic’ and ‘Alien’ Art
Actor Robert Pattinson is known the world over for many reasons: his mercenary good looks, his roles in prominent works of landmark cinema such as Good Time, The Batman and the Twilight franchise and a number of high-profile romantic relationships.
Pattinson isn’t necessarily renowned for his taste in fine art, but Sotheby’s is looking to change that with an upcoming Contemporary Curated auction whose works have been partially chosen by none other than Edward Cullen himself that will take place on September 30th.
Six of the eight items included in the Sotheby’s sale were selected by Pattinson, and his choices include paintings by Richard Serra and William de Kooning, sculpture by Thomas Houseago and a graphite drawing by the superlative Julie Mehretu. The Daily Beast reached out to Sotheby’s for comment. Previous celebrity curators have included Swizz Beatz, Oprah Winfrey, Ellie Goulding, and Cynthia Erivo.
