Expert Picks: Sportscaster and Former Sotheby’s Staffer Corey Robinson Shares His Favorite Works on Artnet Galleries

by admin
May 19, 2020

Corey Robinson—former college football player, current NBC
Sports reporter, and dedicated art lover—is a man of many talents
and interests. The son of NBA Hall-of-Famer David Robinson, Corey
played college football as a wide receiver for Notre Dame, and now
serves as a reporter and digital correspondent for NBC Sports.

Corey’s interests span well beyond sports, though. After
graduating from Notre Dame in 2017, he joined the art world by
taking on an internship at Gagosian, then working at Sotheby’s,
where he was known to mix it up with his
fashion-forward looks.

These days, Corey is broadcasting from home and recapping the
week in sports on his Instagram. Read on to learn more
about Corey, including the first place he plans to visit once
quarantine is over, his go-to dinner-party menu, and which artworks
he’s currently eyeing in Artnet Galleries.

Corey’s Gallery Picks

I’m drawn to art that is evocative or ethereal. When I look
at a piece, I have to feel something. The work that does that
usually captures a fleeting moment or has some otherworldly quality
to it. For example, a few of my favorite artists are
Frankenthaler, Modigliani, Klimt, Ruth Asawa,
and Belkis Ayón.

Aug 17, 2020
artnet

Kaleidoscopic landscapes and riotous bursts of flowers are the signatures of Brooklyn-based artist Shara Hughes—scenes she creates entirely from her imagination.
