Max Fisher Obituary

FISHER-Max. The Board of Directors of Sotheby's Holdings, Inc. and Sotheby's worldwide employees mourn the loss of our Vice-Chairman, Max Fisher. For over 20 years, Sotheby's has benefited immeasurably from his great wisdom, insights, knowledge, experience, support and appreciation of our people. He was totally devoted to our company and it is impossible to adequately acknowledge his many contributions to Sotheby's and to our employees. We will all greatly miss his counsel and his commitment, and we extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Marjorie, and to his family. Michael Sovern, Chairman Sotheby's Holdings, Inc. Bill Ruprecht, Presdient and Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Fisher's generosity is seen in virtually every community in the Detroit area, as I'm sure it is in many communities throughout the world. His is a legacy that cannot be replaced, but can only grow and inspire others to greatness. Shalom, Max!
