New Work
I can’t believe it’s been a month since I started at Sotheby’s, yes, that’s right, the people who I was convinced absolutely despised me. So far it has all been about learning their systems and their workflow. I feel productive most days despite having periods of downtime since I’m still learning.
I think the most amazing part is being surrounded by art. Not physically but knowing that I’m ‘around’ it. On my first lunch break I saw Renoirs, Miro’s and discovered Egon Schiele. Then I walked into a Mont Blanc pen exhibit. I think seeing all this will be my favorite part of the job.
Everyone keeps asking me if it’s good and I say to them a resounding yes. Do I want to do it forever? No. But I say yes because the people are lovely, yes because it’s new and fresh, yes because I am finally using my brain again. Most of all, I’m surrounded by beautiful art that some people may never see or even know exists (did you know Banksy sell’s some graffiti canvas works at auction?).
Thanks everyone for all your well wishes love love love Rai.
I plan to be baking more again. Come back soon! <3
