Grand like the art of Yongzheng’s father before him and magnificent like that of his son’s reign to follow, the present vase epitomizes the extraordinary craftsmanship of the High Qing period. Yet, in its serenity, its bold use of negative space, and subdued composition of blooms against a white ground, the vase retains a sense of austerity, of care, and of meditation typical only of the Yongzheng reign and that quiet yet eventful day in the Summer Gardens. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rFVkPU9JuEE?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/how-wayne-gretzkys-final-game-jersey-almost-got-away-brahm-wachter-shares-his-sothebys-story 2025-09-03T11:30:45-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/e3/1f/993504a44ce9894a1ac27acf2796/brahmclean.png How Wayne Gretzky’s Final Game Jersey Almost Got Away | Brahm Wachter Shares His Sotheby’s Story On April 18, 1999, Wayne Gretzky played his final NHL game at Madison Square Garden. The jersey he wore that night would go on to spark one of the most dramatic moments in Sotheby’s history. For Brahm Wachter, Head of Modern Collectibles, it was the ultimate dream—and nearly a career-ending disaster. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sNUM-wcoVuI?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Sotheby's Stories Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/why-is-1990-called-the-greatest-vintage-in-wine-history 2025-09-05T10:09:31-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/a4/dc/97cb36394080aeebda82661d6f73/winethumb.png Why Is 1990 Called the Greatest Vintage in Wine History? 1990 has long been whispered about as a year of near-mythical perfection in the world of wine. Across France, conditions aligned in rare harmony. Bordeaux basked in a hot, dry summer tempered by timely rain, Burgundy achieved extraordinary balance, Champagne yielded complex, age-worthy cuvées, and the Rhône produced reds of remarkable power. Names like Mouton, Margaux, Petrus, La Tâche, Krug, and Jaboulet became more than wines. They became benchmarks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/C-N7vgJw6R0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/how-a-cold-call-led-to-a-historic-discovery-emily-bierman-uncovers-her-sothebys-story 2025-09-07T08:59:59-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/42/f7/aab0cd024cd59d2dda1acb4895af/emilyclean.jpg How a Cold Call Led to a Historic Discovery | Emily Bierman Uncovers Her Sotheby's Story What would you do if a total stranger called claiming he owned the earliest photograph of a U.S. president? For Sotheby’s Global Head of Photographs, Emily Bierman, she assumed it was a long shot. But as she followed the trail—an obscure family gift, a misidentified label, decoding century-old handwriting—the story started to unravel something far bigger: the oldest surviving photograph of an American president. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wiMDHK4hP6U?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Sotheby's Stories Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/unis-unique-picks-special-gemstones-in-high-jewelry-sale 2025-09-08T23:19:51-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/3d/11/9efc3dda4fa69018901929ae2e24/uni-clean.png Uni’s Unique Picks: Special Gemstones in High Jewelry Sale Join Uni as she explores the captivating world of jewelry, showcasing some of the most exquisite gemstones, exceptional craftsmanship, and renowned collections featured in Sotheby’s High Jewelry auction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/47OOD-dZjz0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/insight-report-surrealism 2025-09-10T12:26:53-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r49gYbo7KVs/hqdefault.jpg Sotheby's Insight Report | A Century of Surrealism Sotheby’s is pleased to present ‘Sotheby's Insight Report | A Century of Surrealism’.

Yoshitomo Nara's "Can't Wait 'til the Night Comes" is the largest work known on canvas featuring Nara's ‘children of the night’. Dazzling and beguiling. The artist revisits this theme repeatedly throughout his career. An intimate part of his creative process, he would work “alone in his studio, usually late at night, with punk rock screaming from speakers”, and rising only well into the mature hours of the day. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MpYURWdbr3Y?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/when-a-giacometti-meets-an-old-master-the-eclectic-collection-of-roberto-agostinelli 2025-09-24T05:05:17-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/a2/75/03e4885b43f59e9b58ec90f07447/agostinelli-tclean2.jpg When a Giacometti Meets an Old Master: The Eclectic Collection of Roberto Agostinelli Step into the house of Roberto Agostinelli, a passionate collector whose London residence reveals the eye and spirit of a true aesthete.
