Christie’s iPhone application was unveiled this summer and is proving to be a valuable method of staying connected with the auction world in the palm of your hand. Downloading the application is not, however, a substitute for previewing works in person and clients are not yet able to bid live, although the auction house plans to unroll a live bidding feature in the near future.
Here are some of the helpful features of the Christie’s iPhone application:
- Browse over 450 auctions in over 80 categories including all areas of fine and decorative arts, jewelry, photographs, collectibles, and wine, among many others
- Zoom in on lots with extremely high quality resolution
- Get sale results
- Email different lots that interest you to friends and colleagues
- Learn how to buy and sell at auction and about private sale services
- Get directions to Christie’s salesrooms using Google Maps
- Download fashionable wallpapers featuring fine art, jewelry, and decorative arts
The Christie’s iPhone application is available through the iTunes App Store, at Christies.com and through Facebook and Twitter.
