Carly Murphy, Christie’s head of client strategy for the Americas, is leaving the auction house to join Art Basel as global head of collector and institutional relations, a newly created position. She will report to Vincenzo de Bellis, the fair’s chief artistic officer and global director of fairs, and begins later this month. The move comes as the art market faces slowing sales, with global art and antiques sales falling 12% in 2024 to $57.5 billion, according to the latest Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report.

Carly Murphy, Christie’s head of client strategy for the Americas, is leaving the auction house to join Art Basel as global head of collector and institutional relations. The newly created position, which starts later this month, will report to Vincenzo de Bellis, Art Basel’s chief artistic officer and global director of fairs. Murphy previously held client-facing roles at Sotheby’s and Phillips, and called the move "a once in a lifetime opportunity" to apply her auction-world experience at the fair organizer.
