SOTHEBY'S TODAY
Leveraging the Company's tradition of innovation, Sotheby's is now a global art
company, offering auction and much more - discreet private sales, gallery sales,
retail wine and diamonds, client lending and worldwide partnerships in art education
and real estate
• Differentiated focus on middle and upper echelons of the auction market, with an
average price point double that of Sotheby's principal competitor
Trusted auctioneer of such record-setting works of art as:
Edvard Munch's The Scream (Highest price paid for a painting at auction -
$119.9mm)
Only publicly traded investment opportunity in the art market
Strong performance has driven share price increase exceeding the S&P Midcap
index over the last one, five and ten year periods
■
.
Alberto Giacometti's L'homme qui marche I (Highest price paid for a sculpture at
auction - $104.3mm)
While clearly a leader in the very top end "couture" business, works of art sold in
the $50k to $5mm range generate by far the larger proportion of Sotheby's auction
revenues and are the engine of Sotheby's profitability
Ongoing focus on growth opportunities in support of delivering shareholder value
balanced with prudent capital allocation
