MUNICH.- With KETTERERs 100 Ketterer Kunst offers a new online only auction format to meet customers demands: Getting high quality art at attractive prices from the comfort of their homes on a regular basis. Accordingly, the auction house doubles the frequency of its online only auctions and knocks the virtual hammer down on the 1st and the 15th of every month on
www.ketterer-internet-auctions.com. Around 100 works of art from the 20th and 21st century, many with starting prices of 100, will be on offer.
Over the past few weeks we have noticed strong increase in traffic on our online platform, participation in our last online only auction skyrocketed. Indeed, on the two last days of the auction we received 250 additional bids on just 50 objects. Now the fact that we as a pioneer in auction digitalization have pursued this path with strong focus and massive investments for more than 15 years really pays off. This allows us to meet the increasing demand instantly, explains Robert Ketterer, owner of Ketterer Kunst. He continues: Additionally, our concept includes high-quality, diverse and diligently curated works with appealing prices. It has never been easier to feel the thrill and excitement of an auction from the comfort of your home.
