Lens & Legacy: APA NY Explores Sotheby’s Iconic Photography Auction

Join Us for a Special Photography Exhibition at Sotheby’s!

Come explore a stunning collection of 20th and 21st-century photography at Sotheby’s 50th Annual Photo Auction exhibition. This is a rare opportunity to see iconic and influential works up close before they go under the hammer.

We’ll meet at 2 PM sharp on Monday, March 31, in the atrium of Sotheby’s (before security). Please note that all bags must be checked before entering. Sotheby’s is located on York Avenue between 71st and 72nd street.

(Location Access:The atrium is the main entrance on York Avenue and provides access to all public areas, including exhibition and sales areas, via escalators and elevators.)

After the informal gallery walk, those interested can join us at a nearby spot for coffee or a drink to discuss the exhibition. It’s a great chance to connect with fellow APA members and celebrate the art of photography together.

Don’t miss this chance to see extraordinary images and engage in great conversation—we look forward to seeing you there!

Please RSVP by Saturday, April 29, so that we can anticipate how many people are coming. Also note that this will be an informal meetup- not officially sanctioned by Sotheby's- but the galleries are free and open to the public.
