About CK Swett

CK Swett, a California native and Duke University graduate, began his career in the art auction world at Christie's in 2006. He joined Phillips de Pury & Company in June 2011, where, amongst many pursuits, he now serves as an auctioneer.

He conducted his first charity auction last fall, and since then has raised over $1 million for more than 20 charitable foundations with causes ranging from children in Malawi and veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to public schools in Manhattan and the American Cancer Society. CK feels incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to not only volunteer his services for such critical endeavors but also to represent both his company and his line of work as a force for good.

When not convincing bidders to raise their paddle one last time or sitting at his desk writing sales proposals, CK can usually be found swimming, making films, or singing enthusiastically off key.
