Christie's International plc
 PROFILE
You won't find old Pez dispensers here. Christie's International is one of the world's largest auction houses (neck and neck with Sotheby's). Christie's appraises, prepares, and sells items such as art, collectibles, wine, stamps, and motor cars. The company also owns a coin and art dealership, and provides real estate services, an educational art program, a mail-order book service, and a fine arts image library. It holds auctions worldwide. Christie's has dropped its Internet auction plans, although rival Sotheby's has moved online. Both auction houses pled guilty in 2000 to conspiring to fix commissions. Artemis, the holding company of French art collector Francois Pinault, owns Christie's.
