In January, Heritage Auctions set up a new office in Chicago, River North. Sotheby’s international auction house in Chicago was closed in 2003 and this new office has filled the void for a worldwide auction company in the city. The new Heritage Auction will be managed by a 25-year-old "art and antiques" expert named Roberta Kramer.

The only competition for them is the fine art auction house named fLeslie Hindman Auctioneers that does an annual business of almost $40 million. Established in 1976, Heritage Auctions offers a wide range of collectables online and has an annual turnover of $850 million. The new office will be its 13th one in the world.
