Sotheby’s Expands Upper East Side HQ
Sotheby’s said it’s expanding and reimagining its New York headquarters and galleries at 1334 York Ave. on the Upper East Side. Designed in collaboration with Sotheby’s by Shohei Shigematsu of architecture firm OMA New York, the redesign increases Sotheby’s exhibition space from 67,000 to more than 90,000 square feet.
“Our ambition was to completely reimagine the client experience in our building, from arrival into our lobby, and the path taken to view an exhibition and participate in an auction, through to collecting new purchases,” said Sotheby’s CEO Tad Smith.
He added, “We are thrilled with the way Shohei Shigematsu and OMA New York have realized our vision for a dynamic space that can serve our clients today, and grow with our business and the market into the future.”
The expanded UES headquarters is slated to open May 3, to coincide with auctions of Impressionist and contemporary & modern art.
