Did you know that you don’t really have to go to the best museums in New York to see some incredible art?
Christie’s New York at 20 Rockefeller Plaza regularly holds public exhibits during set hours to showcase its incredible holdings before they go to auction. This May, in fact, the destination will be chock-full of masterpieces that you can gaze, including works by Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol, Mark Rothko and Jean-Michel Basquiat, among others.
