E arlier this month Sotheby’s opened the doors to its stunning new global headquarters in Marcel Breuer’s iconic Brutalist building on Madison Avenue.
In celebration of this monumental moment, Sotheby’s is partnering with Etihad Airways to bring a landmark exhibition to the heart of New York. On view December 13-21, the Icons exhibition brings together a once-in-a-lifetime collection of over 25 veritable masterpieces sold by Sotheby’s in decades past. Temporarily on loan from private collections and public institutions, the works of art will be exhibited alongside one another for the first time for all to see.
Before arriving in New York, a selection of 11 objects were exhibited in Abu Dhabi during the highly anticipated Collectors’ Week, held at the spectacular St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort December 2-6.
By deepening its reach in both New York City and Abu Dhabi, Sotheby’s is also ensuring that generations of collectors, artists, and institutions can move fluidly throughout these exciting locales in the future — and Etihad Airways, as a leading global airline, traces the precise routes where these ideas are currently being exchanged.
