Online Auctions
• Online sales accounted for an average of only 1% in the top tier houses.
• However, some auction houses have begun concentrating more on this channel.– Christie’s launched its first online-only auction in
December 2011, and held six online-only auctions in 2012, although these were not high value. In 2013, however, Christie’s held five online-only sales of works by Andy Warhol—the first time the auction house has ever offered online-only Post-War and Contemporary art sales.
