Christie’s announces the application window is open for the Christie’s Grant for Nazi-era Provenance Research 2026! For the fourth consecutive year, Christie’s is supporting early years academics researching the art losses and spoliation of the Nazi era 1933 - 1945. Thirty years on from seminal publications and initiatives illuminating how Jewish collectors, families, museums, libraries and institutions were robbed of their possessions, either through plunder or state-sanctioned actions, new information continues to come to the fore. Much of this new research is the result of the engagement, mission and commitment of emerging academics and researchers. In 2026, Christie’s is offering 4 grants of £5,000 to current and continuing post-graduate students and 1 grant of £2,000 to an undergraduate student with a developing interest in this field and related future post-graduate studies in mind. The application process is now open to students in art history or with an interdisciplinary interest in Nazi-era related provenance research. For further information about the application requirements please visit Grant Information | Christie's (https://lnkd.in/eJ7Uyugq). Applications will be accepted until 10 July 2026 by email to RestitutionGrant@Christies.com. With our thanks also to this year’s selection panellists: Anne Webber, CBE, Marc Masurovsky, Antonia V. B., Pia Schölnberger and Margaux Dumas, PhD

A Landmark Opening to Spring Marquee Week! Christie’s launched its Spring Marquee Week in New York with a combined total of $1.12 billion across two sales—one of only two nights in history to surpass the $1 billion mark. Led by Jackson Pollock’s Number 7A, 1948 at $181.2 million, the evening delivered exceptional results, including records for Brancusi and Rothko, and strong performances across 20th century masters. With 97% sold by lot and global participation, the results reflect continued confidence in the market and an outstanding start to the week. #Christies #MarqueeWeek #ArtMarket #Auctions

Today, we celebrate International Provenance Research Day, a moment to recognise the vital work of uncovering the histories behind artworks and cultural objects and the poignant stories of personhood that accompany them. Provenance research not only deepens our understanding of collections but also plays a crucial role in transparency and stewardship. We’re grateful to Christie’s team of dedicated researchers, historians, and specialists committed to tracing these stories and preserving cultural heritage for future generations. #Restitution #Provenance #Christies #ArtHistory

When I started at Christie's in Australia many years ago, one of my tasks in that small office included putting the recycling bins out for collection each week. But that was about all we did then when it came to caring for our environment….and now providing that care is one of the most important parts of my job. Since 2021, we have been working hard across the company to reduce our impact on the planet and be a responsible leader in the art market. We are the only major auction house taking such a stance and we are proud supporters of the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC). Our sustainability program has three ever-present goals: We COMMIT to carbon emission reduction targets, validated by Science Based Targets initiative We COMMUNICATE openly and transparently about our progress - https://lnkd.in/eWavH-xk We COLLABORATE with suppliers and partners from across the industry in support of collective action The program was initiated by our former CEO (now Chairman) Guillaume Cerutti and it continues to be supported by our current CEO, Bonnie Brennan. While they lead from the top with encouragement from our shareholder, everyone at Christie’s plays their role and shares in our progress. It’s a privilege for me to be Head of Sustainability at Christie’s and this video showcases some of our work. While what we do is more wide-ranging these days, it is still true that those recycling bins won’t empty themselves… Thank you to my colleagues for their support and hard work: Ben Gore Nick Sims Julien Pradels Anthea Peers Emily Klug Caroline Maxwell Rosalind Patient Tom Johnson Maria Busa Elise Mathieu Fabian Guignard Audrey Lee Janet Tung Emma Cunningham Kate Chapman (Ferguson) Aiyana O’Grady Antonia (Toni) Fitzgerald Nathan Spooner Michalis Livesey Nell Plumfield Rebecca Roundtree Lavinia (Yufei) Zhao Alexandra Vidgeon Danlin (Miranda) Yu Charlotte Rutter Gillian Gorman Round

For 260 years, the Christie's rostrum has been a symbol of our commitment to exceptional art and objects. Originally designed by Thomas Chippendale for James Christie in the 1700s, it has witnessed countless astonishing moments. With each strike of the gavel, it stewards culture, beauty and history forward. And as we look to the future, it takes on a new form that will carry on the legacy begun centuries ago. For this evolution, we sought the skills of Jony Ive and his creative collective LoveFrom. Much like Chippendale, Ive has left an indelible mark on the world through his creativity and work, changing the way we live. Crafted with sustainable wood from the same forests that helped restore Notré Dame, this new rostrum will stand at the heart of Christie's, honour our past while embracing what's to come.
