流行文化
流行文化是佳士得新近設立的拍賣類別，匯聚二十世紀及二十一世紀電影界、搖滾音樂界、明人娛樂圈與體育界的珍貴藏品。佳士得每年於倫敦南肯辛頓舉行兩場流行文化拍賣。
娛樂圈的珍品五花八門，包括荷里活巨星曾使用的電影道具和服飾、音樂巨人曾使用的古董結他和歌詞手稿，以至動畫藝術和電影海報。這些珍品曾是不同年代的人的美好回憶，亦於國際市場上深獲藏家垂青。過去二十年，佳士得曾拍賣貝蒂‧戴維斯(Bette Davis)憑《紅衫淚痕》贏得的奧斯卡金像獎與約翰‧連儂(John Lennon)《I Am The Walrus》的歌詞手稿。
2004年，佳士得拍賣附有馬龍‧白蘭度(Marlon Brando)筆記的《教父》電影劇本，以31.2萬美元成交，成為全球拍賣價最高的電影劇本。而在1999年，佳士得舉行瑪利蓮夢露(Marilyn Monroe)珍藏拍賣，成交總額超過1,300萬美元，其中瑪利蓮夢露於1962年在紐約麥迪遜廣場公園為美國前總統約翰‧甘迺迪獻唱生日歌時穿著的連身裙，更以1,267,500美元成交，創下另一項世界拍賣紀錄。於2004年，艾力克‧克萊普頓(Eric Clapton)作曲時使用的Fender Stratocaster結他「Blackie」以959,500美元成交，刷新當時的世界成交紀錄。
