海蒂·霍顿收藏来源批评
奥地利亿万富翁海蒂·霍顿的珠宝收藏在佳士得拍得约1.8亿瑞士法郎，但此次拍卖因霍顿的财富与纳粹时期强迫出售犹太企业有关而受到批评。犹太组织和慈善机构反对财富来源并拒绝接受相关收益；佳士得后来取消了计划中的第二场拍卖。

Hobby Lobby 就《吉尔伽美什史诗》泥板交易起诉佳士得
提起诉讼
Hobby Lobby 就佳士得出售一块古代泥板起诉佳士得，指控其欺诈并违反保证。诉状称佳士得曾表示委托人有权出售该物品，并且知道其来源记录是伪造的；这些属于指控，并非法院裁定。
品牌回应
调查 — Christie’s
we are reviewing all representations made to us by prior owners
否认 — Christie’s
Assertions within the filing that suggest Christie’s had knowledge of the original fraud or illegal importation do not comport with our investigation.
来源摘录
Hobby Lobby, the Oklahoma-based nationwide arts and crafts chain whose family owners founded the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, is suing Christie’s auction house for fraud and breach of warranty for selling it an ancient tablet, inscribed with part of the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, which US authorities say has been looted.
The lawsuit, filed today, claims that Christie’s offered assurances during a 2014 private sale that the consignor, who is only identified in the lawsuit as “a private art collector who resides in London”, was legally entitled to sell the ancient object, when the auction house knew its provenance was fake.
Christie's "knowingly made misrepresentations to Hobby Lobby that amount to both a breach of express warrant and fraud concerning the Tablet's provenance," the lawsuit states, "adopting and affirming a fictitious history created without basis in fact by a previous owner about a 1981 sale of the Tablet in the United States in order to disguise the illegal importation of the object into the United States after 1990."
