Caspar Jopling
Combining his art historical background with an in-depth knowledge of current trends in the Contemporary art market, Caspar Jopling works at Sotheby’s New York and spends his time between the Contemporary Art Department and the office of the CEO. Born and raised in Yorkshire, Caspar attended Eton College and Harvard University, focusing his studies on the History of Art and Architecture. Since moving to New York four years ago to work at Sotheby’s, Caspar has sold a number of important works of Contemporary and Modern art, both privately and through auction, to his clients spanning Europe and the United States. However, much of Caspar’s time is spent considering and strategizing how business, innovation and technology will have an effect on the art market. Caspar began collecting art in his teenage years and has kept a keen eye on the emerging art market ever since. He has also been involved with a variety of museums and foundations since he moved to New York, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Dia Art Foundation, MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ellie and Caspar’s Soho apartment features works by a range of artists including Julie Mehretu, Rebecca Warren, Mary Heilmann, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rachel Kneebone, Raymond Pettibon, Cindy Sherman and Jonathan Horowitz.
