I would like to start a discussion regarding clean-up and a neutral point of view on this page. Does anyone have any suggestions? Vannuyswarehouse (talk) 17:23, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We appreciate your feedback. We would like to provide an official link to the official website of this auction house. How should we proceed with this? We understand there is a criticism that the indication of prices on our website makes this link's inclusion seem "commercial". However, we noticed that other large auction houses' Wikipedia pages, such as Christie's and Sotheby's, include "notable auctions" or "auctioned artwork" sections that highlight the buyers and the prices at which the art work sold. For an auction house, prices are an inherent and prominent aspect of the business. Prices reflect the current state of the market and economy, and provide an insight into the societal perception of particular artists at particular points in time. How can we include this significant and noteworthy information without seeming as though we are trying to advertise this auction house?

We will adjust the historical background information. We will transfer the other external links to the "references" section, so readers can research further information at their own discretion. We will also delete the "facts" section, as this information can easily be found on the official website.
