Simon de Pury’s career has been predicated by passion and innovation, and thus Create! – 21st Century Architecture and Design, an online auction by de Pury, (launching on 26 July 2023) is both an inevitability and a dynamic intervention.
Explaining the genesis of the project, de Pury notes, 'I have always loved architecture. When I used to own Phillips, design was one of the three pillars of the firm besides contemporary art and photography. I wanted this auction to incorporate super-established artists like Ron Arad that I have admired forever and young emerging ones that have been building an audience through social media.'
