Founded in 1766, Christie’s is a world-leading art and luxury business with a physical presence in 46 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. In 2022, despite the pandemic and challenging environments, Christie’s achieved their highest ever global sales number of $8.4 Billion dollars, the highest annual sales total in art market history.
To commemorate the year and to thank a select number of members, Franklyn was tasked with designing a book to celebrate and reflect on the most memorable pieces of art and history that were sold that year. From Paul G. Allen's collection, to DJ Kool Herc's set-up and memorabilia, to Man Ray's "Violin d'Ingres," the book was filled with iconic, beautiful, and historical imagery from one spread to the next.
