The Art Detective is a weekly column by Katya Kazakina for Artnet News Pro that lifts the curtain on what’s really
going on in the art market.
Amy Cappellazzo’s future at Sotheby’s has been the subject of speculation in the art trade for months now. The star executive joined the auction house in January 2016 after it agreed to shell out $85 million for the advisory firm she co-founded. Her five-year contract ended in January. Both Sotheby’s and Cappellazzo have been mum on what happens next.
