Hannah Solomon
Head of Department, Specialist | Ancient Art & Antiquities
Hannah Solomon is a Specialist and Head of Department of the Antiquities department at Christie’s New York. She joined the department in 2010 and oversees the auctions in New York as well as collaborates with her London colleagues on their bi-annual auctions. Hannah also works closely with the department’s international clients sourcing and selling material year-round via Christie’s private treaty channel. Hannah has been responsible for a number of recording-breaking results, including the sale of a Greek Bronze Helmet of Chalcidian type that realized over $1 million in April 2017 and a Roman Marble Portrait Bust of the Emperor Didius Julianus in April 2019 that sold for over $4.8 million.
Hannah’s passion of the ancient art is cross-cultural, which lead her to earn two Master’s degrees: one from the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, with a focus on the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean; and another in the Arts of China from Christie’s Education/University of Glasgow. Hannah’s areas of specialty include Greek arms & armor and Minoan and Mycenaean works of art.
