VENUE BIO

In 1744 Londoner Samuel Baker, founder of Sotheby's auction house, held the first-ever sale under his own name: a personal library that sold for a few hundred pounds. Well over two centuries later, Sotheby's sold a single book for more than 8 million pounds. In the last century, the original London company has expanded from book auctions to cover all areas of the fine and decorative arts. This great expansion means that Sotheby's is not just one of the oldest fine art auctioneers in the world, but also now the largest. There are more than 100 Sotheby's offices around the globe.
