  • Summary

  • Episode 67 of ‘All About Art’: Discussing Contemporary Art Auctions with Kelsey Macpherson, Specialist at Sotheby’s Auction House


    In this episode, I sat down with Kelsey Macpherson, Specialist and Deputy Director in the Contemporary Art department at Sotheby’s Auction House.


    Listen on to hear me ask Kelsey, who relocated from New York to London earlier this year, how the auctions and markets differ in the two cities. We speak about her career path at the auction house and what her job entails, and she gives advice to those wanting to pursue a career in art auctions. We discuss the current time of year, which is by far the busiest time in London due to Frieze Art Fair, and more.


    Thank you Kelsey for coming on the podcast!
