Heritage Auctions is an American multi-national auction house based in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 1976, Heritage is an auctioneer of numismatic collections, comics, fine art, books, luxury accessories, real estate, and memorabilia from film, music, history, and sports. The company has grown to become the world's third largest auction house by total sales.

History

[edit]

In 1982, Heritage Auctions became a partnership between two collectors, Steve Ivy and Jim Halperin.[1] In 1967, Ivy dropped out of the University of Texas at Austin to form Steve Ivy Rare Coin Co. in Dallas, Texas.[2] Ivy formed Heritage Auctions in Dallas in 1976.[1]

In 1982, Halperin sold his Boston-based business and relocated to Dallas to join Ivy. Alongside him, he brought Marc Emory, a partner who oversees a segment of Heritage's European operations. Another addition to the company was Greg Rohan, who joined in 1986 and is now president.[2][3] The company's other partners are Paul Minshull, Ryan Carroll, Todd Imhof, Cristiano Bierrenbach,[2] Todd Hignite, Dustin Johnston, Joe Maddalena, Sarah Miller, Sam Spiegel and Ryan Carroll.[4]

In 2003, the company introduced a memorabilia department, which hosted its inaugural auction valued at approximately $2 million.[2]

In 2010, Heritage launched its luxury items division, which includes jewelry, handbags, and other accessories.[5] In some instances, items from these auctions have sold for over $200,000.[6] By 2013, the auction house was also auctioning modern and contemporary art including works by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Joan Mitchell, and Edward Ruscha.[7]

In the immediate aftermath of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's online sales amounted to $41 million. This figure accounted for approximately 10% of the entire previous year's annual online sales, which had reached $483 million in 2019.[8] In the year 2022, Heritage accomplished sales over $1.45 billion. This figure does not include the charity auction organized by Heritage for Dmitry Muratov's Nobel Peace Prize, which brought $103.5 million; the entirety of these proceeds was directed towards UNICEF to support humanitarian initiatives for refugee relief.[9]

In 2023 Heritage was ranked third among Western auction houses with total sales of $1.76 billion.[10] In 2024, Heritage's annual total sales reached $1.867 billion, the highest recorded in its history.[11]

In 2025, Heritage closed its annual sales with more than $2.15 billion, the company's fifth consecutive record-breaking year.[12]

Operations

[edit]

On June 1, 2020, Heritage Auctions consolidated three Dallas-area locations to a new world headquarters in Dallas, located at the northwest corner of West Airport Freeway and Valley View Lane near Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.[13] The 160,000 square foot facility is located in the DFW Airport international trade zone and will house 450 of the company's 600 employees.[14] The company also has offices in New York City located on Park Avenue.[2] Its New York operations are mostly geared towards the fine arts industry.[15] Heritage has a West Coast location in Beverly Hills, California, located on Olympic Boulevard.[2] In 2011, Heritage acquired Greg Martin Auctions in San Francisco, California, forming the auction house's division specializing in weapons and armament.[16]

Heritage expanded operations by adding an office in Hong Kong in 2015.[17] In spring 2017, the company formed a Florida branch with offices in Palm Beach.[18] In January 2017, company opened an office in Chicago, also, opened a new London office in 2017.[19]

In 2015 Heritage Auctions took over MPO located in IJsselstein, The Netherlands. Founded in 1988 as a coin and stamp fair organizer, Jacco Scheper and Huib Pelzer acquired the company in 1996 and three years later began auction operations. Through the merger with MPO Heritage Auctions also has a Belgium office located on the outskirts of Brussels in Zaventem.[20]

As of 2025, Heritage Auctions has continued its international expansion, with new showrooms and offices in Tokyo and Munich opening in 2024, and plans announced for a forthcoming Canada branch.[21]
