Media Center

Welcome to RM Sotheby's Media Center! The RM Sotheby's team has been working hard to bring you a site that is informative, easy to use, and caters to your specific interests.

Designed to simplify the user experience, media assets are no longer found only in the Media Center, but can instead be found throughout the entire website. Media contacts can now navigate the regular site as a normal user and will receive special permissions, such as hi-res download options, when they are logged in with approved media access.

The biggest change to the new design is that hi-res photography is now found on the individual auction pages. Once you open a specific lot, you can download hi-res images directly from the page. Similarly, hi-res event photography can now be found on the Results page for each auction. You must be logged in with approved media access to see the hi-res download option.

In addition to a fully integrated user experience, the site has been updated to include detailed profiles for each user. We encourage you to please take the time to accurately complete/update your profile to help us better understand your specific interests and deadlines which, in turn, will allow us to keep you abreast of any information or events we think may be most relevant to you and your audience.
