What does it really take to bring a Christie’s exhibition to life?

Ahead of our Contemporary New York sales, Rachel Ng and Shereen Al-Sawwaf take us behind the scenes of the installation process, opening Saturday, 21 February.

From building a 3D, Sims-style rendering to placing each work with our art handlers and writing condition reports, step inside the Rockefeller Center galleries before the ✨ grand unveiling. ✨

📅 Contemporary New York is on view through 25 February and free to the public. Experience iconic and moving masterpieces before they head to auction.
