Two weeks ago, the house disclosed that it had suffered $42 million in guarantee losses from its Hong Kong sale, its contemporary art sale in London, and its New York Impressionist and modern sale. Shares fells 84 cents, or 8.7 percent, to $8.85. Sotheby's has said in the past that it extends guarantees jointly with undisclosed third parties. In Friday's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the house valued its share of the unsold guaranteed works at $16 million.
