What they do

Sotheby's is one of the world's leading auctioneers of fine art, antiques, jewelry, watches, collectibles, and real estate. Founded in 1744 by John Sotheby as a London bookseller, the company has evolved into a global luxury marketplace with approximately 3,200 employees. Headquartered in New York with major operations in London, Hong Kong, Paris, Los Angeles, and Geneva, Sotheby's conducts auctions and private sales serving collectors, estates, museums, and other institutional clients seeking to buy and sell valuable artwork and objects. The company became majority-owned by Patrick Drahi's investment group in 2019 and has maintained its reputation as a market leader in authentication and valuation across multiple collecting categories. In recent years, Sotheby's has expanded digital and online sale capabilities to complement traditional auction formats, modernizing while preserving the institutional trust and heritage built over nearly three centuries.
