The auction house Sotheby’s

The auction house Sotheby’s has auction centers in New York, London, Paris, Genf and Hongkong, and was founded in 1744 by Samuel Baker in London. For approximately 200 years, the traditional auction house was specialised in books and manuscripts. After the internationalisation around 1940, paintings, furniture, instruments, sculptures, carpets, wine, watches, jewellery, cars and real estates had been added.

One of the significant auctions was the auction sale of the royal house´s paintings of Hannover, the auction sale of the House Baden, the Thurn and Taxis auctions Edvard Munchs version of the painting The Scream, which is currently the most expensive painting, that has been sold in an auction.
