ON Simon Shaw (86-90), Vice Chairman of Global Fine Arts at Sotheby’s, recently took part in a virtual discussion with acclaimed artist Tracey Emin.

The discussion sees Tracey Emin speaking with British GQ Editor, Dylan Jones; curator of the Munch Museum, Kari Brandtzaeg; and Simon himself.

Tracey discusses the profound influence Norwegian painter Edvard Munch has had on her work, culminating in the current ‘Emin / Edvard Munch: The Loneliness of the Soul’ exhibition currently underway at the Royal Academy in London. Discover how Tracey hand-picked a selection of Munch’s work from the Munch Museum to show alongside her most recent paintings and discover why Munch’s most famous work The Scream – which was sold by Simon at Sotheby’s in 2012 - has had such a profound effect on modern culture.
