About Us Art, antiques, rare and fine books in Americana, prints, ephemera, maps. On March 11, 1744, Samuel Baker, founder of Sotheby's, held the first-ever sale under his own name. It has only been in the last century, after all, that the original London company has expanded from book auctions to cover all areas of the fine and decorative arts. Sotheby's holds auctions practically every other day. In New York alone, there are more than 150 auctions in any given year.
