“PHILLIPS AUCTION HOUSE TO OPEN HAMPTONS LOCATION" - NEW YORK TIMES  

Galleries and other commercial art spaces have begun to reopen in New York but some are still choosing to expand outside the city’s limits to reach clients who have decamped because of the coronavirus pandemic. Phillips, one of the world’s top auction houses, will open a new location in Southampton, N.Y., on Friday.

Seeing how the pandemic has been “impacting our operations and our clients has really got us thinking about how to adapt the business,” Edward Dolman, the chief executive for Phillips, said in an interview.

“It made sense to take art that we would traditionally show solely in Manhattan out to where a lot of our clients decided that they were going to be spending much more of their time,” he added.
