Sotheby’s Unveils Plans for Breuer Building, Announces Opening Date

Sotheby's will open its new global headquarters in the Marcel Breuer–designed building at 945 Madison Avenue on November 8, 2025, after a renovation by Herzog & de Meuron with local partner PBDW Architects. The Brutalist landmark, originally completed in 1966 for the Whitney Museum of American Art, later housed the Met Breuer and the Frick Collection during its renovation. The project restores Breuer's original open gallery floors, adds state-of-the-art lighting and climate control, and preserves period details like the lobby's domed ceiling lights. The opening will feature a free public exhibition of Modern and Contemporary art ahead of marquee auctions starting November 17, with design sales and Luxury Week following on December 5, and a fine-dining restaurant by Roman and Williams opening later in the winter.

The Met to Present a Major Exhibition Dedicated to the Careers of Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced a major exhibition titled "Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous," scheduled to run from October 2026 to January 2027. This landmark show will trace the parallel careers of Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, marking the first significant New York presentation for either artist in over two decades. The exhibition aims to examine their distinct yet interconnected practices as artistic peers and life partners, featuring galleries that both juxtapose their works and present them independently to highlight their individual evolutions in abstraction.
