About this Event

TOILETMILES PAPERALDRIDGE: POLAROID PORTRAITS


In a unique new project at Sotheby’s, Miles Aldridge will be inviting the public into his vibrant world unlike ever before. For the first time, the photographer and artist will be setting up an off-site studio providing an opportunity for visitors to Sotheby’s to partake in a one-on-one polaroid portrait session with Miles. In true Warholian style, sitters will be able to experience “15 minutes of fame” with Miles who, over the years, has captured some of the biggest stars of our time: Sir Elton John, Maisie Williams, Viola Davis, Marina Abramović, Donatella Versace and Michael Fassbender to name just a few. Miles is set to bring this project, ToiletMiles PaperAldridge: Polaroid Portraits, to Sotheby’s galleries for four days only from 8-11 April 2025.


Drawing inspiration from his TIME cover shoot with Sir Elton John (“Icon of the Year” issue, December 2024), Miles will create a specially designed set in Sotheby’s galleries, complete with props (feather boas, oversized glasses, tea cups, retro telephones), lighting and heavy drapery backdrops, which participants will be able to step into, to experience a once-in-a-lifetime polaroid portrait session with Miles himself. Priced at £150 (inclusive of VAT), Miles will donate a portion of the funds to The Elton John Aid’s Foundation.
