JOOPITER announces Jackson Wang Metamorphosis: Athlete – Musician – Designer, an auction presented in collaboration with global singer, performer and phenomenon Jackson Wang. This marks JOOPITER’s first collaboration with a Chinese artist.
The auction traces Wang’s evolution from elite fencer in his youth, to world-dominating musician, to creative director and designer of his TEAM WANG brand.
Jackson Wang Metamorphosis will be open for global bidding at JOOPITER.com from June 18 to 25, 2024. All proceeds from the auction will be directed to charity.
Jackson Wang said: “I’m very grateful that I can share the highlights and important chapters of my first 30 years on earth – from sports to music to fashion. It has been a dramatic ride so far with various challenges, and yet I am looking forward to the next chapters to come. All of these items are very meaningful to me. They may appear to be very different, but they all represent the same mindset. To me, the only difference among these chapters of my life would be the skill sets, what remains the same is the emphasis on creation.”
Caitlin Donovan, Head of Global Sale at JOOPITER said: “We are thrilled to present this celebration of an artist who has reached the highest level of accomplishment in sports, music and fashion. Jackson Wang Metamorphosis: Athlete – Musician – Designer, showcases the talent and dedication that has sky-rocketed Jackson to global success. JOOPITER is excited to bring these very special pieces to fans around the world.”
