An interview with the president of Christie’s EMEA on how Covid-19 impacted the auction houses and how he got into the art market.

Renowned Swiss auctioneer Simon de Pury has been in the art business for over 50 years. He shares his outlook on the market post-lockdown and explains why he’s a big fan of Instagram. (It’s not just because he has 200,000 followers.)

Alberto Giacometti’s “Lampe coupe aux deux figures” was the highest-selling piece at the Swiss Art Sale 2019 at Christie’s in Zurich. Tanya König followed that artwork until it sold and found out what goes into selling art at auction.
