K11 Konversations: Artists as Celebrities in Popular Culture K11 Konversations

On this episode, a special panel discusses the rise of celebrity culture and its influence on fine art.

K11 Konversations invites guest speakers Yuki Terase, former Sotheby’s Head of Contemporary Art, Asia,  Jazz Li, Enviseam founder and CEO, and SK Lam, founder of AllRightsReserved, the creative studio credited for bringing street culture giants such as KAWS to Hong Kong, to speak on the subject.

This panel originally took place as part of an unprecedented auction preview collaboration between Sotheby’s and Jay Chou.

What better way to dive into the heart of this trailblazing partnership than with a conversation on the role of art and celebrity in popular culture?

Moderated by award-winning journalist and art critic Vivienne Chow, the guests discuss the rise of celebrity culture and its influence on fine art, Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame in the age of social media, and the anti-celebrity celebrity in the landscape of contemporary street art.
