PROJECTS

An Original ‘Djinn’ settee from Stanley Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’

I am exited to present for sale an original double ‘Djinn’ settee by Olivier Mourgue with a singular provenance: it was one of the furniture pieces used on set in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, Space Station 5 in the iconic film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ by Stanley Kubrick (1969).

Narcélio Grud

Having encountered his work with urban and intervention art early on in my discoveries and research into Brazilian art (beginning in earnest with research undertaken for my MA in Art History in 2015)

postROOM

I am pleased to be acting as Head of Sales at postROOM Gallery, London. Founded in 2003 under the direction of Sandie Macrae, postROOM has occupied a unique position in the UK art scene, defined by Sandie’s curatorial understanding and committed mentorship of young artists.

The Barry Kamen Estate

Since 2022 I have been honoured to be the curator of the Barry Kamen Estate. Our mission as an Estate is to research, protect and promote the work of artist Barry Kamen (1963-2015).
