auction

Japanese: オークション
auction
An auction of artworks. It has been popular in Europe since around the 17th century, but especially since the 19th century, it has become popular as a way for art dealers to exchange artworks among themselves, and as a way for the general public to participate in the sale of artworks from specific private collections or by artists. It has a major impact on price determination and the distribution of artworks in the art market. Representative auction companies include Sotheby's (Sotheby's Holdings) and Christie's (Christie's International), both headquartered in London.
