Christie’s remains focused on expanding its footprint in Asia. In September, it opened a new Asia Pacific headquarters at The Henderson in Hong Kong, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The location has since welcomed over 27,000 visitors. Later that month, Christie’s announced that it has been granted a commercial license in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, becoming the first dedicated international auction house with a presence in the Kingdom, a booming luxury market. Christie’s also acquired Gooding & Company, the leading international auction house in the car collector market. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Christie’s, establishing its position in the expanding classic and collector car market and further solidifying its leadership in the broader luxury sector.
