Introduction to
Christie's
Christie's, the world's oldest fine art auction
house, was established in London in 1766 by James
Christie, whose friends included some of the leading
artists of the time. Today, Christie's conducts many
of the most important auctions in the world.
Christie's holds many world auction records,
including the most expensive work of art ever sold:
Vincent Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet, which
brought $82.5 million in New York in May of 1990.
In the course of more than two centuries, Christie's
has grown into an international network of 119
offices in 42 countries. Each year, Christie's holds
hundreds of auctions covering more than 80
categories, including silver, jewelry, photographs,
wine, furniture, ceramics, comic books and
memorabilia, stamps and, of course, fine paintings
and sculpture.

Christie's Great Estates,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Christie's
International PLC, was formed in June of 1995
following the acquisition of Great Estates, Inc.
Christie's clients -- those who buy and sell works
of art, furniture and antiques -- often requested
real estate services. After a careful and thorough
investigation, Christie's chose to acquire the
operation of Great Estates to fulfill client demand.
Christie's Great Estates
is the largest international network of independent
real estate brokers specializing in the sale of
important properties. The network comprises of more
than 120 real estate firms with more than 500
offices and approximately 14,000 sales associates.
The combined sales volume of all affiliate real
estate companies is approximately $50 billion in
annual sales.
Each real estate firm is selected for affiliation
through a careful screening process that includes
meeting stringent professional standards and
demonstrating proven records of success in handling
distinctive properties.
