K-pop icon T.O.P curates Sotheby's Hong Kong contemporary art sale this October

If you think awesome moves and handsome looks are all what T.O.P got, think again. The star of K-pop sensation Big Bang has been tapped by Sotheby’s Hong Kong to guest-curate its special contemporary art sale taking place on October 3, 2016.

Entitled #TTTOP, the sales is not only T.O.P’s curatorial auction debut but also the first time Sotheby’s Hong Kong is collaborating with a young collector as the curator.

The prestigious auction house can certainly benefit from T.O.P’s celebrity power and five-million or so Instagram followers. This is, however, not T.O.P’s first artistic endeavour. The singer-actor is known for his passion for contemporary art and designer furniture. He previously co-curated the contemporary Asian art exhibition “The Eye Zone” at ArtScience Museum in Singapore and contributed part of his collection to Yang Haegue’s exhibition in Samsung Museum of Art.

A portion of the proceeds from #TTTOP sales will go to Asian Cultural Council to support its charitable causes.
