In New York, Sotheby's Exhibition-Sales Are Packed

À New York, les expositions-ventes de Sotheby’s font salle comble

Sotheby's New York has experienced an unprecedented surge in public attendance at its exhibition-sales held in the iconic Breuer Building. In just two weeks, over 25,000 visitors—a 3.8-fold increase from the previous year—queued around the block to see works by artists like Gustave Klimt, Maurizio Cattelan, and René Magritte, with total attendance from November to late January reaching 46,325. The crowds, reminiscent of a major museum show, initially overwhelmed staff, who had to manage the flow to preserve the viewing experience for high-value clients.
