Can I visit an item in person before bidding?
Sotheby's often provides opportunities for prospective bidders to view items in person prior to placing bids. This practice is commonly referred to as a preview or exhibition. During these previews, individuals can examine the artwork or collectibles up close, allowing them to assess the condition and authenticity of the items. The details about specific previews, including dates and locations, can vary based on the auction and the items being featured. Typically, this information is made available on Sotheby's official website. Interested individuals are encouraged to check the current web page for specific exhibition schedules and location details. Visiting in person is a wonderful way to connect with the items and enhance your bidding experience.
