Julio Torres & St. Vincent Enter the Surreal with Kahlo, Dali, Tanning, and More

NEW YORK | 20-21 NOVEMBER 2025

Writer‑performer Julio Torres and musician St. Vincent (Annie Clark) join Sotheby’s to explore Surrealism’s strange, playful power. Reviewing works by Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo and Dorothea Tanning from the Exquisite Corpus collection, they share how the absurd disrupts logic, how humor becomes critique, and how Surrealism informs their artistic practices.

Their conversation is sparked by the Exquisite Corpus Evening and Day Auctions, 20–21 November 2025, underscoring Surrealism as a living language that continues to inspire collectors and artists today.
