Simon De Pury The Art Auctioneer Who Became A DJ

Hilarious news here! Simon De Pury is much more than the art world’s most controversial auctioneer, he is also a DJ! Watch his debut music video below. De Pury, dubbed as the “man with the golden gavel” is such a very unique character!

“Ever since I was a teenager, I have been just as interested in music as I have in art. It’s actually very similar to auctioneering: as an auctioneer, you want everybody to bid energetically, and as a D.J. you want them to dance energetically.” — Simon De Pury

De Pury’s favorite music genres are House music and classic groovy hits from the late 70s era. This prestigious man has a fanbase made mostly of the jaded jetset of the art world!

Rumors are circulating that he’s planning to launch an album in collaboration with Giorgio Moroder.
