This fascinating book traces the legacy of the world-renowned auction house Sotheby’s through one hundred of the most extraordinary objects to pass through its salesrooms. Spanning centuries and mediums, the selection ranges from a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton to contemporary provocations like Maurizio Cattelan’s infamous banana. Each work is presented with a striking large-format image and expert commentary from Sotheby’s specialists, alongside contextual photographs and reflections from curators and critics.
