Founded in 1766, Christie’s has conducted the greatest and most celebrated auctions through the centuries, providing a popular showcase for the unique and the beautiful. It holds more than 450 auctions annually in more than 80 categories, including fine art, wine, jewelry, furniture, fashion, collectibles, and memorabilia. Salerooms and exhibitions in Rockefeller Center are free and open to the public. A highlight of the U.S. flagship is the soaring triple-height entranceway with a specially commissioned mural by artist Sol LeWitt.
