The Pi-eX MACRO 2019 Annual Report summary provides an overview of the combined worldwide auction results over the past decade (2010 to 2019) at the three major auction houses (CHRISTIE’S, SOTHEBY’S & PHILLIPS).
Combined annual revenue from auctions for 2019 at Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips declined 15% YoY from US$12.2b in 2018 to US$10.4b in 2019.
The 2019 revenue decline did not come as a surprise, as the combined auction revenue at the top 3 auction houses declined in each quarter of 2019, especially in the most important second and fourth quarters.
Pi-eX 2019 annual reports provide some insights on the most likely drivers of the revenue decline and some indications of the major strategic adjustments the auction houses are pushing through to reinvent the auction business.
