• WHY SHOULD I SELL WITH KOLLER AUCTIONS?
Experience, know-how, and a proven success rate – Koller has been holding auctions for over 60 years, has one of the most experienced teams of specialists in the business, and has established an extremely high success rate with an international clientele of bidders and buyers. We will do everything possible to ensure your work of art sells for the highest possible price.
• WHY SELL AT AUCTION?
In an auction, bidders are often willing to spend more for a work because they are confident that the price reflects the current market – because they have confidence on our valuations, and because other bidders are willing to pay the same price. This is why auctions are often the guide by which art professionals and collectors measure the value of a work.
• HOW CAN I FIND OUT HOW MUCH MY ITEM IS WORTH?
Our specialists are available to give confidential, no-obligations appraisals of one work or an entire collection. We are in daily contact with the art market and current values, and we work with the most renowned experts in each field to determine authenticity.
• CAN I SET A MINIMUM SALES PRICE?
Yes, together with the appropriate specialist, you can set a minimum price under which your item will not be sold.
• DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ESTIMATE?
The first estimate, in view of a sale at auction, is free of charge. If you require valuations for insurance or estate purposes, we will gladly provide a cost estimate for this service.
• CAN THE SPECIALISTS DO AN APPRAISAL AT MY HOME?
Yes, Koller’s specialists are always available to do at-home valuations.
• CAN I BRING MY ITEM TO KOLLER TO BE APPRAISED?
Yes, you can bring your items to Koller to be valued by simply making an appointment.
• DOES KOLLER ACCEPT EVERYTHING FOR AUCTION?
The art market fluctuates over time, and some items are currently not sought-after by our clientele. If we feel there is no chance to sell certain items with us, we will let you know.
