Dear Nel
Thanks for raising this. I concluded from the FAQ on their web site https://www.sothebys.com/en/faq-help?locale=en that they were not printing any more catalogues, but now some are finding their way to us. Hard to know what is or is not being printed, and what we can rely on receiving in the way of complimentary copies sent to curators if subscriptions are no longer possible. I would be interested to hear if others have more insight.
Best regards
Jonathan

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ARLIS-L] Auction catalogues
This Message originated outside your organization.
Dear colleagues,
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam collects the print versions of auction catalogues. Recently, I tried to renew our subscription to the Sotheby’s catalogues, but they are no longer renewing their print subscriptions. Do you still collect printed auction catalogues, and if so, how do you deal with this problem?
Best regards,
