Occupy Wall Street Joins Art Handlers’ Protest at Sotheby’s

Excellent, yesterdays protest at the Sotheby’s corporate offices on York Avenue was enlivened by dozens of people from Occupy Wall Street, as the protesters joined the Sotheby’s art handlers in their efforts to get a fair agreement with the auction giant who pulls down billions in profits.
