What happens when musician St. Vincent (Annie Clark) and comedian Julio Torres take surrealism into their own hands? As they sit down to play the surrealist drawing game, Exquisite Corpse, what starts as a few lines quickly spirals into something between divine revelation and downtown chaos—part baby’s bottom, part masterpiece. With their sharp wit and stranger-than-fiction imaginations, every stroke becomes its own punchline.
Inspired by the upcoming Exquisite Corpus: Surrealist Treasures from a Private Collection sale at Sotheby’s, St. Vincent and Julio Torres blur the lines between comedy, surrealism, and fine art, proving that even the most unconventional creations can belong on the world’s most prestigious walls.
Exquisite Corpus: Surrealist Treasures from a Private Collection traces the full sweep of Surrealism’s restless imagination through more than 80 paintings, drawings and sculptures. The unparalleled collection will be at the heart of Sotheby’s inaugural marquee season, with dedicated November auctions at the historic Breuer building in New York on 20 & 21 November 2025.
