Karl-Anthony Towns Adds Curator to His Trophy Case

· 1 min read

Fresh off a Knicks championship, NBA All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns is stepping into the auction house, co-curating a contemporary art sale at Sotheby's alongside a lifestyle entrepreneur. The checklist reads like a survey of postwar and contemporary heavyweights: George Condo, Helen Frankenthaler, and Roy Lichtenstein all make the cut. It is a notable pivot for a player known for his game, now putting his eye to work in one of the country's most closely watched sale rooms.
