Have you ever played Exquisite Corpse? We challenged St. Vincent and Julio Torres to a round of the collaborative game, and the result was…surreal. In the game made popular by Surrealists in the 1920s, participants contribute to a work (like a drawing or poem) without seeing the previous person's contribution, resulting in a surprising, collective creation. Named after the poem created with this method: "The exquisite corpse will drink the young wine,” the game is also the namesake of a private collection coming to auction at #SothebysNewYork on 20-21 November. Exquisite Corpus: Surrealist Treasures from a Private Collection traces the full sweep of Surrealism’s restless imagination through more than 80 paintings, drawings and sculptures. The unparalleled collection will be at the heart of Sotheby’s inaugural marquee season, with dedicated November auctions at the historic Breuer building in New York on 20 & 21 November.
