Back to our roots. Under this guiding theme, we opened our new KOLLER CITY SPACE at Rämistrasse 5 in January 2026. Here, where our auction house was based for thirty years, the story comes full circle. Pierre Koller, who founded the company as a small antiques shop in 1958, moved into premises at Rämistrasse 8 in 1961, just a few steps from the legendary Kronenhalle restaurant. The former Galerie Koller quickly became a pioneer of the Zurich art and antiques trade – and a place where collectors, dealers and curious visitors would meet.
‘After 35 years, Koller returns to the heart of Zurich with a new City Space.’
In 1991, the auction house relocated from Rämistrasse to Hardturmstrasse. Over the past 35 years, we have developed a modern auction house here. Across 1600 square metres, more than 9000 objects are exhibited each year prior to auction. Eighty members of staff, art storage, conservation workshops and our extensive archive have since been brought together under one roof.

Despite this excellent infrastructure, we always retained the desire to maintain a presence – a kind of shop window – in the heart of Zurich.
With our new, intimate showroom at Rämistrasse 5, we are now realising this long-held wish. Here we present highlights from forthcoming auctions, share insights into recent auction results, and offer personal advice to clients wishing to have works of art appraised and sold by our specialists.
We very much look forward to this new space – and to welcoming you.
