As this season’s guest curator, award-winning actor, singer, songwriter and author Cynthia Erivo shares with us her love of creative expression. “In the last year I’ve leaned into art more,” she says, “because I feel that people are using it now to express things that they cannot necessarily say, because they don’t have the words.” Ahead of the Contemporary Curated auction (12 March New York), the acclaimed performer chooses her favorite works from the sale, describes how art informs her own work and looks to new evolutions of the art world today.
