S otheby’s Private Sales works discreetly and seamlessly with buyers and sellers of world-class works of art throughout the year, independent of the auction calendar. Whether you are seeking a specific artwork for your growing collection or wish to sell, our global team of sale directors is ready to source, sell, advise and research on your behalf. We conduct private sales in a range of categories including fine art, jewelry, watches, books, wine, automobiles and more, usually for objects with a value of $100,000 or greater. Unlike auction prices which are subject to demand, in private sales prices are fixed, clear and always mutually agreed upon between both parties.

Our team brings decades of expertise and passion to each interaction, backed by unrivaled knowledge of both art history and the dynamic market. For 276 years Sotheby’s has helped passionate collectors acquire and sell the world’s greatest masterpieces. Depending on your category of interest, please contact a sale director today to learn more about our current offerings or to find out how we can assist you with your collecting needs.
