Old Masters in new spaces

Video: Sotheby's

I noticed in the front of Sotheby's latest Old Master sale catalogue a series of photos showing pictures in New York-style apartments. They looked good, and are evidently part of an attempt to persuade people that old art can look good in a modern setting. Of course, AHN agrees entirely. Above is a video Sotheby's have released showing how the designer Victoria Hagan put the interior scenes together.
