Christie’s offices reopen in the world
In Asia, most of Christie’s offices are open and fully operational. Our upcoming sales in Hong Kong are going ahead as scheduled on 8–13 July. We are also excited to be planning an historic collaboration in China in September, partnering with China Guardian auction house to stage a series of sales and exhibitions around a theme of positivity: 2020+
In continental Europe, most of our offices have now reopened, or will reopen shortly. In Paris in particular, preparations are underway for our live sales to resume at our Avenue Matignon galleries from 26 May, beginning with The Collector: Le Goût Français. In these locations, our clients can visit our offices by appointment, to meet one of our specialists, view a work or complete a transaction.
All necessary measures to protect our visitors and our staff are in place, strictly following official guidelines. Similarly, in the United Kingdom we are working to reopen our London King Street office beginning the 1st of June.
In the Americas, most of our offices remain closed other than to essential staff, especially in our flagship office in New York, Rockefeller Center. We continue to comply with the regulations and are in close contact with local authorities in order to finalise the steps for a safe and phased return to the office for our staff and clients over the coming period.
In all locations, including the UK and the Americas, our teams continue to be available by telephone, email or other virtual means, and our array of sales and services is accessible on our website, WeChat and our App.
