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.
