pherank Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Christie's New York (the auction house with sales of 2 billion last year) released a video with this NYT article - fairly hipster in style, I would say. An Auction Setup at Christie’s: First a Marathon, Then a Sprint (What Happens Before a Multimillion-Dollar Auction at Christie’s)https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/20/arts/christies-auction.html https://nyti.ms/2zpFY83 'Emily Sarokin may not have completely understood how a major auction house worked when she joined Christie’s New York six years ago… She knows now that it is “an immense machine.” In 2016, there were 84 sales and more than 100 exhibitions at Christie’s New York location alone. They involved art and other precious goods worth about 1.5 billion pounds. That is almost $2 billion (but employees tend to think in British currency because the head office is in London, where the company was founded in 1766).'
