Artprice: Sotheby’s tiene su mayor ventaja sobre Christie’s en 15 años

PARIS, 10 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Las dos principales casas de subastas del mundo han evolucionado históricamente codo con codo, pero las ventas online han permitido a Sotheby’s obtener un significativo avance sobre su rival. En los primeros 11 meses de 2020, Sotheby’s, dirigida actualmente por Patrick Drahi, tiene una ventaja en términos de facturación del +40%. Nunca ha habido una demarcación tan amplia desde 2004.

Facturación de arte a nivel mundial – Sotheby’s vs. Christie’s

1 de enero…

Facturación de arte a nivel mundial – Sotheby’s vs. Christie’s

1 de enero de 2000 – 30 noviembre de 2020

Global turnover from fine art - Sotheby’s vs. Christie’s [1 January 2000 - 30 November 2020]

«La supremacía mundial de Sotheby’s y Christie’s en el mercado internacional del arte no debe hacernos olvidar que las dos casas sólo gestionan el 6% de los lotes de arte ofrecidos en subasta», recuerda Thierry Ehrmann, Presidente y Fundador de Artmarket.com y su departamento Artprice. «Ambas casas han adquirido un monopolio virtual sobre los resultados de más de 20 millones de dólares en Occidente. Su rivalidad es histórica y queda reflejada en el desarrollo estrechamente correlacionado de sus respectivos ingresos durante los últimos 30 años».

Una correlación que causó asombro…

El año 2000 se caracterizó por el fin de un «acuerdo» entre las dos casas, que fueron acusadas por sus clientes de haber participado en «prácticas comerciales ilegales» al armonizar las tasas de sus compradores. Ambas acordaron pagar 256 millones de dólares cada una para evitar una demanda perjudicial y Sotheby’s se separó del que era su CEO en ese momento, Alfred Taubman.

A pesar de este «acuerdo de desacuerdo», las operaciones de las dos casas progresan de forma muy similar, aunque totalmente independientes debido a la «advertencia» en 2000, durante otros tres años.

La facturación de Sotheby’s aumentó un 56% en 2004

La facturación de Sotheby’s en 2004 no sólo se incrementó al alcanzar el primer resultado en obras de arte por encima de los 100 millones de dólares (por Garçon à la pipe (1905), de Pablo Picasso), sino también al obtener 9 de los 10 mejores resultados del año. Esto dio como resultado una facturación global 1,5 veces mayor que la de Christie’s, a pesar de un número de ventas ligeramente inferior.

Sotheby’s en 2004: 1.860 millones de dólares con 19.950 lotes de obras de arte vendidos en 11 países

Christie’s en 2004: 1.190 millones de dólares millones de dólares con 21.570 lotes de obras de arte vendidos en 9 países

Christie’s recupera el liderazgo durante seis años…

Entre 2013 y 2018 la firma de François Pinault logró superar el total anual de Sotheby’s durante seis años consecutivos. Sotheby’s reaccionó con una serie de cambios estratégicos, intensificando su política de garantía de precios y reduciendo las tasas de las ventas online. Sin embargo, la casa que cotiza en la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE), parecía estar quedándose atrás.

Luego, mientras circulaban rumores sobre una posible adquisición por parte de la aseguradora china Taikang (su mayor accionista y propietario de Poly Auction), Sotheby’s fue adquirida por Patrick Drahi, un magnate franco-israelí de las telecomunicaciones. La pandemia de la Covid-19 fue una mala noticia para todos, pero Sotheby fue la más rápido en reaccionar intensificando sus ventas online y estableciendo un negocio excepcional.

La edición de Le Monde del viernes 4 de diciembre de 2020 lo resumía perfectamente: «Como si se tratara de una máquina del tiempo; la crisis sanitaria parece un fenómeno medieval, pero en muchos aspectos nos ha proyectado hacia el futuro. Las predicciones de los expertos sobre el desarrollo de una ‘sociedad desmaterializada’ […] daban a menudo como horizonte el año 2025, sin embargo muchas de estas predicciones se han cumplido en menos de un año».

Cunard’s Flagship Queen Mary 2 Takes Center Stage in new HBO Max Film, «Let Them All Talk,» streaming December 10

Meryl Streep leads star-studded cast in Director Steven Soderbergh’s new feature, filmed in style and luxury aboard a Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing

VALENCIA, Calif., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As Meryl Streep’s character, famed novelist Alice, steps out of the taxi upon arriving at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, she gazes in awe at Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2 dwarfing the port, a magnificent site, even to the most veteran cruise passenger. This is one of the opening scenes of the new film, «Let Them All Talk,» directed by the award-winning Steven Soderbergh, streaming on HBO Max on today. Streep’s character is sailing aboard the grand ocean liner as a special guest of the voyage’s enrichment program, Cunard Insights.

The three-time Academy Award^®winner Streep is joined by fellow acting royalty, two-time Academy Award^® winner Dianne Wiest, and five-time Emmy Award^® winner Candice Bergen. Supported by Academy Award^® nominee Lucas Hedges and actress Gemma Chan, the film is set aboard the storied Transatlantic Crossing, amidst the backdrop of Queen Mary 2’s inimitable style, elegance and luxurious surroundings. In fact, the majority of the film was shot on board in some of the vessel’s most beloved spaces: the atmospheric, Art Deco Commodore Club, the sumptuous Queens Grill suites and dining room, the Royal Court Theatre and the 9,000 volume library, just to name a few.

As the film was captured aboard a live voyage, many on board guests had a chance to grab their moment in the spotlight when they were cast as extras in the film.

«We were absolutely delighted when Steven Soderbergh approached us to film his next feature on board Queen Mary 2,» said Simon Palethorpe, President, Cunard. «While Cunard and our flagship are accustomed to hosting luminaries from all over the globe, it was quite something to welcome Steven, Meryl, Dianne, Candice, Lucas and Gemma for this very special and unique opportunity. We are very excited about the film, its witty and engaging story and how lovingly Steven captured the essence of our flagship and the Transatlantic Crossing experience.»

Deadline commented that the film’s «highly sophisticated and elegant filmmaking is one of Soderbergh‘s finest…» which resonates with the atmosphere on board, and very well reflected in the production. The viewer can almost experience the leisurely and luxuriant pace of the Crossing, and the allure of this iconic voyage.

Commenting on his experience aboard Queen Mary 2, Soderbergh said: «Color me well impressed. I have never seen an enterprise on this scale of complexity run so beautifully. Every Cunard staff member we interacted with was committed to providing the best possible experience for their guests, which in this case included our cast and crew. And I can confirm without question that as stunning as Queen Mary 2 looks on camera, she‘s even more stunning to the naked eye.»

Former USSTRATCOM Commander Ellis, Retired NASA Astronaut Anderson Endorse Nebraska as USSPACECOM Headquarters

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Retired Admiral James O. Ellis, Jr. (USN), former commander of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), and retired NASA astronaut, Clayton Anderson, today announced their support of Offutt AFB, Nebraska as the permanent location for U.S. Space Command Headquarters (USSPACECOM).

«In 2002, we merged the first United States Space Command with United States Strategic Command in <span…

«In 2002, we merged the first United States Space Command with United States Strategic Command in Omaha because of the natural synergies between space operations and all of the strategic roles then resident in USSTRATCOM. Many of those synergies still exist, and I believe co-location of these two important commands would make a great deal of sense, especially given the pro-active ability of the region to craft public-private partnerships and national security research support, and the always-welcoming spirit of the people of Nebraska,» Ellis said.

Currently, The Department of the Air Force is considering six locations for USSPACECOM: Kirtland AFB, New Mexico; Offutt AFB, Nebraska; Patrick AFB, Florida; Peterson AFB, Colorado; Port San Antonio, Texas and Redstone Army Airfield, Alabama.

«I grew up in Nebraska, was educated in the Midwest, and went on to a 33-year career with NASA, including two missions to the International Space Station. In my experience, Offutt Air Force Base (AFB) is an ideal location to house the U.S. Space Command headquarters. It is with pleasure and confidence that I support the Offutt AFB candidacy for this important and timely U.S. Space Command headquarters,» Anderson said.

Home to USSTRATCOM, Offutt Air Force Base already houses the 55th Wing, Air Combat Command’s largest wing; the Air Force Weather Agency; the 595th Command & Control Group and the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) Annex.

The USSPACECOM headquarters is expected to host an estimated 1,400 military and civilian personnel in a 400,000 to 450,000-square-foot building. For context, the USSTRATCOM headquarters building in Bellevue hosts 3,500 military and civilian personnel in a 916,000-square-foot building.

Los 30 mejores proyectos de este desafío recibirán una beca completa para programas de máster, MBA y posgrado, así como cursos de especialización en instituciones internacionales de Sommet Education, el grupo líder especializado en formación hotelera y artes culinarias: Glion Institute of Higher Education, Les Roches, y École Ducasse.

Entre los 30 finalistas está la mexicana Katia Rivera, quien, además del premio que ya recibió, está concursando por quedar entre los tres primeros lugares de personas con talento que construirán el hospitality del futuro, y que recibirán un capital semilla de Eurazeo, grupo de inversión global del que Sommet Education forma parte.

Katia es la única mexicana finalista en este concurso con su proyecto LittleBigTravel donde propone repensar el turismo desde la sustentabilidad y la cultura local.

«Mi propuesta busca a través de los principios de la ciencia del comportamiento reeducar a viajeros y proveedores locales para aprender a disfrutar los lugares de una manera más sana y en sintonía con la comunidad y el medio ambiente.» Dice Katia, Psicóloga por la UNAM y con una maestría en Neurociencia Cognitiva por la Universidad de Trento, Italia.

La mayoría de los proyectos finalistas promueven la inclusión y la sostenibilidad para reinventar la «hospitalidad del mañana» también brindan nuevas ideas para el sector turístico así como nuevas perspectivas sobre la respuesta al COVID-19. Esto permitirá que el turismo, la hotelería y los viajes sigan contribuyendo a la recuperación socioeconómica general.

El secretario general de la OMT, Zurab Pololikashvili, dijo: «El turismo del mañana debe acoger nuevas ideas, nuevas voces y toda la diversidad que ofrece el sector. Este concurso destaca lo mejor que ofrece el turismo y la industria de hospitality a nivel mundial. Muestra cómo los innovadores de todo el mundo pueden mantener el turismo y los viajes a la vanguardia del desarrollo sostenible y el cambio positivo para todos».

Benoît-Etienne Domenget, director ejecutivo de Sommet Education añade: «Estamos encantados de dar la bienvenida a tantos talentos diversificados en nuestras instituciones el próximo año. La variedad de antecedentes y perfiles será fuente de creatividad y traerá nuevas perspectivas para todos».

Doggett Ford, #1 Fastest Growing Ford Store In Texas, Celebrates Grand Opening Of Houston’s Newest Ford Dealership

HOUSTON, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Doggett Ford, the #1 fastest growing dealership in Texas and #2 in the United States, is proud to introduce its new state-of-the-art, full-service dealership to better serve retail and commercial automotive customers in the Greater Houston Area. Before completing its new facility, Doggett Ford operated out of trailers during the 18 months of construction. During that time, all dealership departments not only remained fully functional but grew to become Ford’s number one fastest growing dealer in Texas and number two in the USA despite operating out of trailers, an achievement none has accomplished so far. That outstanding growth is due to the innovative approach which combines Doggett’s industrial, heavy equipment culture and professionalism with Ford’s tradition of excellence in the automotive industry.

At Doggett Ford, we offer a different approach with our no-haggle, one-price retail experience

The brand new 62,000-square foot dealership has become a landmark for those traveling Interstate 45 with its iconic gigantic American flag, which pays homage to America, its heroes and patriots. The facility has been designed to optimize the customer experience. Customers will receive friendly, unmatched service from the moment they walk onto the showroom floor until the time they take delivery in the red-carpeted delivery area. With nearly one thousand retail and commercial vehicles onsite, Doggett Ford can deliver Ford vehicles to its customers anywhere in Texas and beyond. The dealership also features a state-of-the-art service shop that combines the latest software and equipment with the best factory-trained technicians in Houston. The remarkable service repair team at Doggett Ford is eager to show the new service shop and facilities to any interested customer.

«Doggett has a long and successful history of living up to the rigid demands of commercial and industrial equipment customers. In that world, our support services can mean the difference between going broke and making a nice profit; we absolutely must perform at a very high level 24/7. Our success has been built by performing up to our customer’s exceedingly high expectations, thanks to an excellent team of dedicated support staff and factory-trained technicians that are pros at keeping their promises. And to keep our technicians comfortable and highly productive, Doggett Ford will be the only air-conditioned Service Center in Houston,» says Jason Mosley, Senior VP and General Manager. Mosley has a proven track record of success spanning over 21 years of automotive retail career, providing unparalleled customer service to thousands of Ford customers across the state of Texas.

Mosley concludes, «At Doggett Ford, we offer a different approach with our no-haggle, one-price retail experience. Our loyal customers’ trust helped us grow faster than any other dealership in Texas. We are excited to continue to deliver unmatched service and support to our customers for years to come in this new store.»
