 PROFILE
For Sotheby's, business is going, going, gone! The company (along with Christie's International) is one of the world's leading auction houses, holding 1,000 sales a year at its 21 auction centers around the world. The company deals mainly in fine art, antiques, and collectibles. On each sale, Sotheby's collects commissions and fees from both the buyer and the seller. In addition to its live auctions, the company offers online sales on its own Web site, but has shut down a co-branded site with Amazon.com. A group led by Ronald Brown owns about 55% of the company; former chairman Alfred Taubman, who resigned and has been indicted by a federal grand jury amid allegations of a price fixing scheme, owns a 24% stake.
