Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm head of programming, Conor Boyle. Coming up on the podcast, we've got something from our friends at Sotheby's that we think you'll enjoy. It's an episode of Sotheby's Talks, the podcast series that takes listeners inside the world of Sotheby's. In this episode, a panel explores the extraordinary collecting journey of Leonard A.
Lauder. As one of two heirs to the Estee Lauder Company's and its former CEO, Lauder famously donated his Cubis collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, marking one of the most significant gifts in the museum's history. The panel discusses Lauder's collecting vision and the klimps, matises and monks that make up the collection's star lots.
