Please note that while this auction is hosted on Sothebys.com, it is being administered by the Norton Museum of Art (the “Norton”), and all post-sale matters (inclusive of invoicing and property pickup/shipment) will be handled by the Norton. As such, Sotheby’s will share the contact details for the winning bidders with the Norton so that they may be in touch directly post-sale.
This online benefit auction has a 10% buyer’s premium, which will be added to the final hammer price of each sold work. The premium allows the Norton Museum or Art to retain more of the proceeds of the sale and offset administrative costs. Auction proceeds benefit the Norton's curatorial, learning, and community engagement programs.
