“A Webby Award is an award for excellence on the Internet presented annually by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a judging body composed of over two thousands industry experts and technology innovators.
At Sotheby’s we believe wholeheartedly in the power of exceptional content and new technology. Whether embracing Augmented Reality, Machine Learning, art forensics, or an OTT Platform, Sotheby’s continues to take the lead, defining what it means to be an innovator in the art world, which is why it’s such an honor being recognized for our efforts by The Webby Awards!
We’ve been nominated in three categories: Series, Animation and Virtual Reality. Treasures from Chatsworth, a 13-part video series focused on the amazing collection of the Devonshire family, is nominated for best original series. Feel free to check out the videos on Sothebys website.
In Animation, Sotheby’s CGI experience of J.M.W. Turner’s celebrated masterpiece ‘Ehrenbreitstein’ is a contender. In it, you can take a CGI journey through the magisterial landscape as legendary English actor Steven Berkoff recites lines from Lord Byron’s epic poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage.
And, not to be missed, Sotheby’s Surrealist VR experience is a nominee for the VR: Branded Cinematic or Pre-Rendered category.
We hope you enjoy the embedded videos and will vote for Sotheby’s!
Thank you
