Sotheby’s New York is one of the world’s leading auction houses. Its May and November art auctions are pillars of New York City’s art scene.
There are auctions all year long, but during art auction season, the entire building becomes a huge museum-quality exhibition. It’s a great place for a date. The online exhibition catalogs are excellent, so you can still study the work, even if you can’t attend.

The most important work tends to be sold in the evening auctions. You can attend most auctions, but some are invitation only. Register to bid.
Sotheby’s was the first auction house to fold its Latin American art auction into its general auctions, thereby increasing valuations.
The showroom moves into the Breuer Building on Madison Avenue (the former Whitney Museum) in 2025.
