About Sponsor:
Christie's is an art business and a fine arts auction house. The official company literature states that founder James Christie conducted the first sale in London, England, on 5 December 1766,[1] and the earliest auction catalogue the company retains is from December 1766. However, other sources note that James Christie rented auction rooms from 1762, and newspaper advertisements of Christie's sales dating from 1759 have also been traced.[2]
