Founder of London based art curators Artphilia, Antje aims to engage audiences with the arts in surprising ways — creating experiences that spark conversations. For Christie’s, Artphilia has curated an olfactory exhibition experience inviting the audience to dive deeply into an Old Master painting with their sense of smell — a new way to make scents of the Old.

David Cass

Scottish artist David Cass divides his time between the UK and Europe. Water plays the central role in his award-winning environmental art practice. From painting to performance, David engages his audience, presenting accessible exhibitions in response to the climate crisis — and specifically the topic of rising sea levels. ‘500 Years’ was designed for Christie’s, weaving past, present and future oceanic change, highlighting the power of art in raising crucial awareness.

Giulia Manzoni

A Master Mosaicist who designs, makes and installs bespoke mosaics for residential, artistic and architectural commissions. Classically trained, Giulia’s practice spans a breadth of applications, from traditional mosaics for domestic and commercial settings to contemporary works of art for private commissions. She specialises in recreating historically accurate mosaics for walls and flooring as well as free-form mosaics, where she places the individual tesserae directly onto a surface, gradually building texture and colour to create works of art with a three-dimensional quality.

Giuseppe Parrinello

London-based artist and designer Giuseppe describes his work as ‘a marriage of styles’, with the interpretation of antiquities into decorative homewares his usual starting point. His Italian heritage has always drawn him to classical revival — its illustrations, shapes and material often finde their way into his work. A graduate of Central St Martins in ceramic design, Giuseppe’s work is hand-made in limited editions, each with its own unique finish.

Helen McCook

A graduate of the Royal School Needlework at Hampton Court with Distinction, Helen has worked in the world of high-level textiles for the last 23 years. She was part of the team behind the ceremonial textiles for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla and the wedding dress, veil and shoes for Catherine, Princess of Wales. She has worked on projects for The Royal Collection Trust, on West End and Broadway productions and at London Fashion Week.

Jon Long

Jon is an artist specialising in 15th-century Italian drawing techniques, materials and processes. He teaches historical approaches to art and drawing alongside his practice as a draughtsman and painter.

Penhaligon’s

British eccentricity comes in buckets with Penhaligon’s, which was founded in the late nineteenth century by Queen Victoria’s Court Barber and perfumer. For Christie’s, our perfumers have created three scents based on the scent references in the 17th-century Dutch seascape Ships in Distress off a Rocky Coast. Discover the three perfumes, named The Tempest, Caught in Ocean’s Grip and Rocky Shore and explore how the artist’s original thoughts affect and inspire us today.

Sipsmith

In 2009, Sipsmith set up London's first copper distillery in 189 years, crafting their award-winning gin by hand in small batches. Their mission was simple: to bring a London Dry Gin of truly uncompromising quality and character back to the city where gin first earned its name. With a nod to traditional hand-crafted production, Sipsmith gin combines traditional copper pot distillation with a recipe reminiscent of one created by an 18th-century master distiller. The result: the ‘sensationally sippable’ Sipsmith London Dry Gin — bold, complex and aromatic, smooth enough for a martini, yet rich and perfectly balanced for a gin and tonic.
