19th Century Art at Koller

Formerly considered a purely regional phenomenon, the market for quality 19th century paintings has become decidedly international, and Koller's auctions in this field have been at the forefront of the trend. Not only Orientalist works have set records, such as a view of Jerusalem's Wailing Wall by British artist William Gale in March 2009 (CHF 318 000 / € 209 800), but also more classic works such as a landscape depicting Volturno towards Capua by Jakob Phillip Hackert that sold in March 2008 for CHF 710 000 / EUR 450 000.
