Art lovers of all ages came to Sotheby’s New York headquarters for a decadent Mother’s Day brunch and seven floors of art, including the Imagine the Conversation exhibition. Throughout the galleries and on the sunny tenth-floor terrace, guests enjoyed juices, Bellinis, mini avocado toasts with sunflower bread, frittatas, Vosges truffles and more.
Sotheby’s hosted a 300-year-old Stradivarius and its Grammy awardwinning owner, Joshua Bell, with pianist Alessio Bax. The pair played four compositions in response to Impressionist and Modern artworks Bell had selected. The worldrenowned violinist talked about the dynamics between art and music with Sotheby’s Simon Shaw.
