Sotheby’s today unveiled images of its reimagined New York headquarters, which will open to the public on May 3. Designed by OMA New York, the new space represents a renovation of the auction house’s lower four floors within a 10-story building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Though Sotheby’s had looked into relocating, according to a spokesperson for the company, after a long period of study it opted to reconfigure its existing building. While the upper floors remain as offices, the first four floors are now devoted almost entirely to exhibition space—expanding from 67,000 square feet to over 90,000 square feet. Two flexible auction spaces are included there, but the main auction room will remain on the 7th floor. A restaurant on the top floor will give way to a new Sant Ambroeus Coffee Bar on the ground floor, joining Sotheby’s retail Wine store to complete the lobby experience.
