The New York Times' Robin Pogrebin on auction houses shifting online during the pandemic

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Robin Pogrebin,
culture report for The New York Times, joins us to discuss how art
auction houses are shifting online in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. First, Robin provides us with the latest update on when
the major May and June auctions will be taking place at Christie's,
Sotheby's and Phillips. Then, she discusses the intricacies of
their online platforms and how the auctions may be presented to the
public. Also, Robin explains why the biggest concern on the mind of
auction house executives and specialists is prospective bidders not
being able to preview the artworks in person. Finally, Robin tells
us how the pandemic may serve as a catalyst for auction houses to
embrace technology moving forward and also how the online auction
platforms are attracting a younger generation of collectors.
