Private treaty sales and the Web take centre stage at Christie’s
PRIVATE treaty sales remain at the heart of Christie’s growth strategy, as the company’s latest statement underlines. Announcing premium-inclusive global
sales totals of $5.7bn (£3.6bn) for 2011 – a 9% sterling rise on 2010 – the auction house singled out the 44% rise in the sterling value of private treaty sales as the most significant development for the year. Totalling £502m, it means they now
account for 14% of all sales compared with private treaty sales of just under £350m for 2010, which accounted for
10.5% of Christie’s £3.3bn global sales total for that year. The auctioneers have also been
focusing their attention on their internet operation, announcing a 77% increase in unique visitors to their website. The proportion of people who actually
bid via Christie’s LIVE, the company’s online bidding platform, has only risen from 28% in 2010 to 29% in 2011, but their activity has grown significantly, leading to a 25% increase in the number of internet bids.
