As featured in Departures and Elliman Magazine "Lots to be proud of... The most extraordinary artworks and outstanding objects ever sold at Christie's." -- Christie's Magazine "Bold enterprise: a new book on the 250 year history of Christie's published by Phaidon." -- Antique Trade Gazette online "Recounts discoveries such as a 3,000-year-old Assyrian frieze that sold for £7 million, having been found in the tuck shop of a Dorset school; record-breaking prices [...] and oddities that have crossed Christie's block, including a wooly-mammoth skeleton and James Bond author Ian Fleming's gold typewriter." -- Vanity Fair (On Art) "Wonderful... A great book to dip into time and time again as there is much to learn and enjoy from it." -- Tim Forrest's E & A "Christie's has seen many a remarkable artefact pass through its halls... Going Once [...] will reveal record-breaking sales [...], celebrity possessions and rare treasures uncovered in the most unlikely of situations." -- Kensington & Chelsea Magazine "'Christie's are a measure of what men and women have coveted in different periods. Not, be it said, the physical necessities of life - food, drink, raiment and so on - but metaphysical necessities.' So said Herbert Furst of the London auctioneers. Presented are 250 landmark sales of these 'metaphysical necessities'." -- Crafts "A history of taste and collecting through the lens of 250 iconic sales drawn from the auction house's proud past." -- Apollo "For every object, there is an accompanying story told with wit charm and verve. To read this book is to receive a private lesson from Christie's experts on some of the very best lots seen at auction." -- House & Garden "What links Captain Cook's logbook, Nureyev's slippers and a 1960 Routemaster bus? They're three of the wallet-shrinking lots featured in Going Once ... The 250 lots highlighted here are notable for three reasons: as record-breakers [...] as curiosities, and as accidental discoveries, such as the Assyrian bas-relief found behind a school's dartboard." -- World of Interiors "A fascinating read." -- The Lady "[D]elightfully entertaining... A fascinating excursion through changing tastes as demonstrated by an absorbing collection of 250 artifacts and their idionsyncracies, backstories, and, frequently, notoriety." -- Elliman magazine "Equal parts immersive tome and beautiful objet d'art, mixing quality storytelling with high, tactile design... More than a receipt of what's been bought and sold (and resold), the book is a cultural history of our ever-evolving tastes." -- Departures Online "A stimulating guide to changing taste." -- Country Life "When were you last at Christie's? You can stay at home and look at 250 objects. If you had the money, what would you buy?... The choice could not be more eclectic and the back stories are interesting." -- MatureTimes.co.uk, As featured in Departures and Elliman Magazine "Lots to be proud of...
