Some very concerning news broke over the weekend. The auctioneers Christie's announced on Friday that their full website has been taken down due to a 'technology security issue'. The timing couldn't be worse, due to the upcoming 20th / 21st Century auctions due to take place in New York this week. Fortunately, a temporary replacement online catalogue has been uploaded online with the sales planned to go ahead as usual.
