phoenician scheme wes anderson art curator jasper sharp 2647625

Wes Anderson's new film *The Phoenician Scheme* features a rogue businessman named Zsa-Zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) who, after surviving a plane crash, decides to make his estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton) his heir. The film's art collection, curated by Jasper Sharp, includes authentic masterpieces such as René Magritte's *The Equator* (1942), Pierre-Auguste Renoir's *Enfant Assis en Robe Bleue (Portrait of Edmond Renoir Jr.)* (1889), and a 17th-century still life by Floris Gerritsz van Schooten. Sharp, a long-time Anderson collaborator, selected and loaned original works to reveal aspects of Korda's character, noting that the real paintings transformed the energy on set.
