Of course, the largest and oldest auction house in the world is still Sosbie. Sosby's history is more than 200 years ago. On March 11, 1744, the British bookmaker Samuel Baker sold a batch of sakes of a jazz in a hotel in a hotel in Kaowen Special Garden, London. This store is considered the first auction of modern forms. After Baker's death, his nephew John Soby was designated as a heir to the inheritance. John named his uncle's auction company with his surname, and "Somby" was born. At that time, good painting and valuable items were still mainly based on businessmen's private transactions, and the way of auction was not optimistic. This situation lasted almost in the 1950s. A man named Peter Cezeel Wilson was in charge of Sobesby after the "World War II". He was determined to challenge the trader's monopoly on famous paintings. Wilson launched the "minimum margin of the seller" system, providing a margin to the auction client before the auction to dispel the concerns of the people who owns the price. Since then, Sobesby has won respect in the art market until the wind calls the wind and rain. In 1983, Sobic was acquired by American real estate manufacturer Taobman because of poor management. After becoming a US -funded company, the auction house was divided into two headquarters, one in London and the other in New York. They currently hold more than 500 auctions in 17 countries around the world.
In another British auction house Christie (also known as "Christie's") is the largest opponent of Saosby. Kristi was founded in 1766, 22 years later, but the founder James Christie quickly won its reputation. Around 1785, Christie became famous for a series of sensational auctions: first auctioned a large number of precious oil paintings collected by a trump spy collection during the French Louis 15, and then planned the jewelry auction of the French aristocratic lady who was sent to the headstone. Throughout the 20th century is the history of these two major auction houses. Sosby has a slight advantage in the number of auction world records. From 1994 to 1997, the two auction houses' new family members reached behind -the -scenes transactions to monopolize the market and reached illegal conspiracy to increase the auction commissions, which were investigated by the US Department of Justice. The scandal of 2000 was exposed, and the trial in 2001 caused a sensation in the world.
It the third challenge of the global auction house should be attributed to Philips. The founder of the auction house, Harry Philips from the door of Christie, established its own portal in 1796. The Philips auction house has been far behind Sosby and Christie for hundreds of years. There is no qualification for comparison at all. Until November 1999 was invested in 70 million pounds of £ 70 million by the owner of Louis Vuitton, France, , Merged into the world's largest luxury group LVMH. Aluo used the opportunity of the two major auction house scandals to invest in Philips a huge sum of money. Philips focuses on Impressionist works, contemporary art and furniture auction. At present, they are fully competing with Somby and Kristi in the French market, and radiate Belgium, Switzerland and Germany by this.
