Sotheby´s reaches Every Point of the Worldwide Art Market With 90 Locations in 40 Countries, 9 Salerooms around the World and Private Sales Galleries in New York, Hong Kong and London, Sotheby´s conducts some 250 Auctions a Year in more than 70 Categories.

Founded in 1744, Sotheby´s is the Oldest and Largest Internationally recognised Firm of Fine Art Auctioneers in the World. It has a Global Network of 80 Offices and the Company´s Annual Worldwide Sales Turnover is currently in excess of $4 billion. Sotheby´s Founder, Samuel Baker, was an Entrepreneur, Occasional Publisher and Successful Bookseller who held his First Auction under his own name on 11 March 1744.

During the Interwar Years, Sotheby´s turned its focus to the Sale of Pictures and Decorative Works of Art. This coincided with the beginning of the End of a Way of Life for many of the Owners of Britain´s Country Houses. Peter Wilson, a pre-war Trainee in the Furniture Department, proved an inspiring Chairman during the Postwar Years. He opened an Impressionist and Modern Art Department in the mid-1950s and wooed Private Buyers as well as Trade.... Having already opened an Office in New York, in 1964 Sotheby´s bought Parke-Bernet, America´s Largest Fine Art Auction House. This launched a Programme of Expansion, with the Company becoming the First International Auction House to conduct Sales in Hong Kong (1973), Russia (1988), India (1992) and France (2001), and the first to have a presence in China (2012)....
