Matthew Hoffarth’s Expertise I have been an Associate Specialist in Sotheby’s department of Science & Popular Culture since April 2022. I received his Ph.D. in History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania (2018) and worked in several museums and cultural institutions before joining Sotheby’s. I have been a key contributor to numerous high-profile sales at Sotheby’s, including: • The record-breaking Buzz Aldrin: American Icon sale – the most valuable Space Exploration auction to date – which totaled 8.2 million on just 68 lots, and which reset the world record for any space-flown artifact at 2.8 million for Aldrin’s Inflight Coverall Jacket which he wore to the Moon and back • The first Gorgosaurus dinosaur fossil ever to come to auction, selling for 6.1 million, as well as the record-setting sale of Maximus the T. rex skull for 6.1 million • The visionary Snow Crash sale – an offering of physical and digital items connected to the revolutionary 1992 science fiction novel of the same name – which realized 1.5 million on just 6 lots, the majority of which were consigned by author Neal Stephenson • The sale of numerous scientific medals and awards, including Arthur Holly Compton’s 1927 Nobel Prize in Physics (277,200) and Adolf von Baeyer’s 1905 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (203,200) I am a member of the History of Science Society (HSS), the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), and Cheiron: The International Society for the History of Behavioral & Social Sciences. I have also successfully completed the coursework and examination in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
