Today, our CEO Guillaume Cerutti is sharing out H1 results for 2024.
I am pleased to announce Christie's auction sales results for the first half of the year. Despite a decline in total sales compared to last year, reflecting a challenging macro environment, all other key performance metrics were either maintained or improved, reaffirming our resilience and status as a leader in the #artmarket. Looking ahead, we have already announced a new series of sales from the estate of the late Paul G. Allen in New York this September. We also have a promising schedule of sales in Hong Kong, London and New York this autumn. Stay tuned for further updates.
