We offer multiple ways to purchase extraordinary objects and art:

Auctions: Sotheby's auctions are live events where interested buyers bid on items in real time. Auctions typically take place in one of Sotheby's global salerooms, or they can be held online. Both our live and online auctions happen during set dates (see the calendar). 

Buy Now: Beyond the auction, we have a curated selection of items that can be purchased immediately at a fixed price.

Private Sales: Sotheby's specialists can advise on building your collection as well as make discreet enquiries and source specific objects by request. Private Sales are typically for high-value items or entire collections that do not get presented on the open market, although you can view some examples of works available for sale. Estimates are provided upon request, by navigating to each  item's page.

Salerooms: Sotheby's has salerooms in major cities around the world, including New York, London, Hong Kong, Paris, and Geneva. We host exhibitions of upcoming sale highlights and live auction events in these spaces.
