World records and top prices for paintings and furniture You can find all Highlight of these sales here. The range of paintings and antiques offered by Koller Zurich at the last auction series of the year from 6 to 9 December 2011 was full of promise. The Furniture Department offered, amongst other things, 130 important objects from the collection of the renowned art dealer Richard Redding. The expert from the Modern Prints department brought one of the rarest and most beautiful wood cuts by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner to auction. Leading the Modern Art sale were the portrait "Gabrielle" by Pierre Auguste Renoir and the gouache "La Mémoire" by the Surrealist artist René Magritte, and the Swiss Art Department offered several top class works by Albert Anker. Over the four days of auctions more than 1000 bidders from Europe, the United States, Russia and the Middle East saw to it that expectations were more than fulfilled. Together with the dazzling world record for the painting "Die ältere Schwester" (the elder sister) by Albert Anker, the Swiss family-run firm was delighted to record one of its best results fetching over 29 million Swiss Francs.

The Swiss Auction house with the international network 2011 was for us a markedly successful auction year. Our family business not only ranks number one amongst the Swiss auction houses, but is one of the auction houses with the strongest turnover in Europe. We have at our disposal one of the broadest ranges of works at auction, from classic furniture, gems, porcelain and silver to jewellery and wristwatches; from old master paintings, drawings, books and early manuscripts, to classic modern art, Swiss art, design, carpets and Asian art - everything which meets the required standards. The results achieved show not only that rare high quality paintings can reach record prices even in an uncertain financial climate, but that traditional works such as 18th and 19th century furniture, old master paintings, 19th century paintings and objects in silver and porcelain still attract high prices.
