Christie's has announced a major two-part auction titled 'Beyond Ordinary - Then. Now. Next.', featuring 106 lots from the renowned Zabludowicz Collection. Scheduled for June 2026 in London, the sale includes a live auction and a concurrent online session with a combined estimate of approximately £15 million. The selection highlights the collection's deep roots in the 1990s British art scene and its commitment to contemporary innovation, featuring blue-chip works by artists such as Philip Guston, Damien Hirst, and Richard Prince, many of which are appearing at auction for the first time.
Founded by Anita and Poju Zabludowicz in 1994, the collection has served as a philanthropic pillar for emerging artists and experimental media for over three decades. This sale represents a strategic evolution for the collection, intended to fund future acquisitions and initiatives focused on the next generation of artists. Key highlights include Philip Guston’s 'Mirror Head', estimated at up to £5.5 million, and Damien Hirst’s 'I Love You', a significant work from the period of his Turner Prize win.
