NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s announced Alex Heminway has joined the company as International Head of Design, effective immediately. He will be based in New York and oversee Christie’s global sales in the growing collecting category of 20th Century Design.

Mr. Heminway joins Christie’s from Phillips auction house in New York, where he was Senior Vice President, Head of Design, Americas. Previously, he worked at a Manhattan antiques gallery Cove Landing, where he sold 18th and 19th century English and Continental furniture, sculpture, and fine art. Heminway began his career at Christie’s in 1993 as an intern in the 20th Century Decorative Arts department and later worked in the Contemporary Art and Bids departments. He holds a BA in Art and Archeology from Princeton University and earned a MFA in Poetry from Columbia University’s School of the Arts.

In his new role, Mr. Heminway will be responsible for global management of Christie’s international Design department, driving business strategy and integration with related departments, including Post-War and Contemporary Art.

Jennifer Zatorski, President of Christie’s Americas, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Alex into this larger global role at Christie’s. His expertise is well-known and admired in the field of 20th Century Design, among private collectors, institutions, and members of the trade alike. With Alex on board alongside our very talented international team of specialists, our goal in 2019 is continued expansion of this exciting field into new markets and sale contexts, in keeping with collector tastes and interests.”
