About Paddle8

We believe that collecting should be an exercise in passion, not patience. We’ve streamlined the buying and selling experience, combining the excitement and expertise of an auction house with intuitive technology of the 21st century. With Paddle8, you’re connected to the most covetable art and objects, sourced from a worldwide network and evaluated by connoisseurs, in an elegant format that’s as enticing as the works themselves.

Paddle8 launched in 2011 by co-founders Alexander Gilkes (an LVMH veteran and chief auctioneer at Phillips), Aditya Julka (a serial entrepreneur and Harvard MBA), Osman Khan (a Perella Weinberg investment banker and Harvard MBA) and founding team Andrea Hill, and Hikari Yokoyama (a curator and Deitch Projects alumna).

Today, Paddle8 is a team of art, collectibles, and technology experts, servicing an audience of discerning collectors from more than 90 countries from offices in New York, London, and Los Angeles.
