Murphy's selection of works, including an Andy Warhol and a Jean-Michel Basquiat, will go on auction March 11.

Last night, L'OFFICIEL, together with Sotheby's, celebrated the fine art and luxury destination's <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/contemporary-curated-5?locale=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contemporary Curated auction</a>, in collaboration with writer and showrunner Ryan Murphy.
Murphy, the mind behind TV hits like American Horror Story, Glee, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/indya-moore-digital-cover-story-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pose</a>, selected 13 standout works for the auction, among them an <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/andy-warhol-creator-american-dream-remembering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Warhol</a> portrait of Japanese musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, a standout work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, two works by Wayne Thiebaud, and more.

The auction comes on the heels of Murphy's latest project: A <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/the-whitney-takes-a-deeper-look-at-andy-warhol-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warhol</a> docu-series on Netflix. Titled&nbsp;The Andy Warhol Diaries, the show takes a look beyond Warhol's public persona via his personal diaries, exposing a rarely-seen side of the artist and pop icon. &ldquo;The series really examines Warhol's life as an artist in a new way, unveiling the man behind the work through a queer sensibility, and exploring the man as his own work of art," says Murphy.
At the event, which took place at Sotheby's headquarters, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/niks.nyc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Kynard</a> DJed while guests, including Bloody Osiris, Ja&eacute; Joseph, and Larry Milstein, browsed the auction's full selection of works and sipped on cocktails served in repurposed Campbell's soup cans.&nbsp;
