Southampton, NY (July 22, 2025) — 2025 Hamptons Fine Art Fair, the premier international art fair in the Hamptons, just wrapped its 19th year with over 15,000 visitors. Christie’s International Real Estate Group, the leading global luxury real estate firm, was proud to be a sponsor of the prestigious event for a second consecutive year. The event – which has been selected as one of the three art fairs worth traveling to in the United States by Forbes – took place on July 10th through the 13th at the Southampton Fairgrounds.

Over 140 select galleries and 600+ artists from 15 countries were on display offering visitors an inclusive and expansive fine art experience from all corners of the world to view. Bold-faced names abounded, from emerging talent to blue-chip masters, such as the iconic Hunt Slonem (Grenning Gallery), who was on hand doing interviews, Stephen Rofle Powell (Trifecta Design Studio), David Yarrow (Sorrel-Sky Gallery) and Ron Agam (Markowitz Fine Art) just to name a few. All told, this year's Hamptons Fine Art Fair boasted over $200 million in important post-war and contemporary art.

“Our continued sponsorship of the Hamptons Fine Art Fair showcases the strength of Christie’s global network and how closely we align with the mission of this event,” said Sonja Cullaro, Executive Vice President of Christie’s International Real Estate Group. “Our commitment to nurturing local relationships is an utmost priority and we’re proud to be able to partner with the Hamptons Fine Art Fair.”

Christie’s International Real Estate Group displayed some of their properties and new developments, in addition to properties from the Christie’s global network. “We were also proud to partner with our colleagues from Fortune International Group, our South Florida affiliate, in marketing two of their distinctive new development projects in Miami, Ora by Casa Tua and Pagani Residences,” added Cullaro.

“Partnering with the Hamptons Fine Art Fair was a joy, and our continued sponsorship of this event reflects our deep appreciation for the arts and our ongoing dedication to the communities we serve,’’ said Bonita DeWolf, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker at Christie’s International Real Estate Group serving the Hamptons. “We were very happy to welcome so many of our clients to the event and share with them the beautiful artwork and experiences of the fair.”
