Pauline Karpidas, who hosted Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst on her Greek island home, to sell hundreds of works at Sotheby’s
The contemporary artists and gallery owners invited to collector Pauline Karpidas’s summer “workshops” on the Greek island of Hydra were given a brief but simple itinerary. “There is little required from you other than an engagement with art and guests: sunbathe, gossip and swim,” their host would advise.
Pictures showed the lucky recipients of such invitations – who included Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas, Damien Hirst and Grayson Perry – doing just that.
