Interview
Comprehensive but went at a quick pace, received next day feedback/scheduling of second round. Standard questions: strengths/weaknesses, why do you want to work here etc. Kind recruiters and receptionists, overall feel of the space was positive, inquisitive, and encouraging vs the aloof/intimidating reputation large art houses can have.

Have you worked in an executive assistant role previously?
I applied online. I interviewed at Sotheby's (New York, NY)
Interview
Submitted online application and received a call from the HR, had a pleasant phone interview and then scheduled to meet the 2 executives the role would be assisting. Met only with one of the executives who was a very pleasant person. It was a very human approach and personable interview. Nothing like some of those interviews asking if i wanted to fight a duck or a horse.
