Working with Sotheby’s specialists, Victoria Beckham, who is acclaimed for collecting art with her husband David Beckham, has selected ten artworks by Yoshitomo Nara, George Condo, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joan Mitchell, Gerhard Richter and Yves Klein to display at her Georgian townhouse store before they are offered at Sotheby’s upcoming contemporary auctions in New York and London or sold privately.
“For David and I, collecting is about more than just investing or acquiring beautiful objects,” said Victoria Beckham in a statement. “It’s about finding pieces that bring us real joy. The more I delve into art history and progress on my journey as a collector, the more captivated I am by it.”
Highlights include Japanese artist Nara’s ‘Cosmic Eyes (in the Milky lake),’ which depicts a cartoonish young girl with sparkly eyes, the colourful ‘Artist and Muse’ artwork by George Condo, which could be interpreted as a double portrait of Picasso, and the childlike playfulness of Richard Prince’s Untitled, a work produced in 2020 as part of the artist’s ‘High Times’ series.

“If you can come into the store, and shop while looking at George Condo,” she told the Financial Times, “it absolutely doesn’t get any better than that.”
This latest project follows Beckham’s 2018 project with Sotheby’s, when a selection of works by Old Masters—Fede Galizia and Elisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun among them—was exhibited at her Dover Street boutique.
Victoria Beckham: From Pop Icon to Fashion Mogul
Victoria Beckham, formerly known as Posh Spice from the British pop group Spice Girls, has transformed her career from a pop star to a fashion designer and businesswoman. Born on April 17, 1974, in Harlow, Essex, Victoria Adams first rose to fame in the ’90s as part of the Spice Girls, a band that ruled the pop charts and became a cultural phenomenon. After the Spice Girls disbanded, Victoria launched her own eponymous label in 2008. Her keen eye for design and attention to detail allowed her to carve a niche in the competitive fashion industry. Victoria’s collections have been celebrated for their modern aesthetics, sophisticated tailoring and femininity, gaining her a loyal celebrity following.
Beyond her professional achievements, Victoria Beckham’s personal life has captivated public interest. Married to football legend David Beckham since 1999, the couple has four children and is often regarded as one of the most glamorous and influential couples in the world. The former Manchester United legend and his wife Victoria Beckham have a combined net worth of £455 million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2024. Victoria has effectively managed the delicate balance between her career and family life, often sharing glimpses of their home life on social media and using her platforms to advocate charitable causes.
