The Sotheby’s Institute of Art is a private institution specializing in art business, art history, and arts management. It operates as a for-profit educational organization, offering graduate programs, certificates, and courses. Founded in 1969, it has campuses in New York, London, and online, catering to students seeking expertise in the global art market.
Unlike public universities funded by governments, Sotheby’s Institute relies on tuition and private partnerships. It is affiliated with Sotheby’s auction house but functions independently, focusing on professional art education rather than traditional academic disciplines.
