Along with the challenges it presented, the crisis has also created many opportunities for restructuring and innovation in the industry as organizations have been forced to look for new ways of working because the traditional format has become unacceptable, and this has required new methods and technologies. The market, driven by external circumstances, moved online as businesses closed and events were canceled, and dealers were forced to rethink their business models to adapt to the new economic realities, which, for many, involved the deployment or significant intensification of digital strategies in to support sales and communications. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to determine the impact of innovative technologies on the world’s largest auction houses. To better understand the impact of innovative technologies on the financial performance of the auction houses Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips, econometric models were built to identify the presence or absence of a relationship between auction profits and such a qualitative factor as the format of the auctions. Based on the econometric analysis, it can be concluded that in the period 2019-2021, the importance of online auctions and, as a result, other technologies necessary to support their activities has increased. This growth is due to factors such as the forced transition to an online format due to security measures and the fight against COVID-19 and an increasing level of confidence on the part of market participants.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Арт-рынок, как и многие другие отрасли, с начала 2020 г. пережил сложный период преобразований, поскольку пандемия COVID-19 создала новые непредвиденные вызовы развития галерей и аукционных домов. Наряду с вызовами кризис также создал ряд возможностей для реструктуризации и внедрения инноваций в отрасли, поскольку традиционный формат стал неприемлемым, а это потребовало новых методов и технологий. Рынок, движимый внешними обстоятельствами, переместился в онлайн: предприятия закрывались, мероприятия отменялись, и дилеры были вынуждены переосмысливать свои бизнес-модели с целью адаптации к новым экономическим реалиям, что для многих предполагало развертывание или значительную активизацию цифровых стратегий для поддержания продаж и коммуникаций. Целью исследования является определение влияния инновационных технологий на крупнейшие мировые аукционные дома. Для лучшего понимания влияния инновационных технологий на финансовые показатели аукционных домов Christie’s, Sotheby’s и Phillips были построены эконометрические модели, позволяющие выявить наличие или отсутствие зависимости между аукционной прибылью и таким качественным фактором, как формат проведения аукционов. На основе эконометрического анализа можно сделать вывод, что в период 2019-2021 гг. возросло значение интернет-аукционов и, как следствие, других технологий, необходимых для поддержки их деятельности. Такой рост обусловлен такими факторами, как вынужденный переход в онлайн-формат в связи с мерами безопасности и борьбы с COVID-19 и повышением уровня доверия со стороны участников рынка.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>art market</kwd><kwd>online auctions</kwd><kwd>NFT art</kwd><kwd>blockchain</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>NFT</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>арт-рынок</kwd><kwd>онлайн-аукцион</kwd><kwd>блокчейн</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article was prepared with the financial support of the RUDN University Economic Faculty, project No. 060326-0-000.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена при поддержке экономического факультета Российского университета дружбы народа, проект № 060326-0-000.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Archey, K., &amp; Peckham, R.
