AMSTERDAM.- Art Europe Auctions is a new auction house with a flexible way of managing operations, combining online and traditional auctioneering across Europe. Theatre in the room in combination with sophisticated online tools will bring the best of both worlds. The internationally oriented expertise of AEA encompasses various disciplines such as European paintings (Old Masters, 19th Century, early 20th Century) modern and contemporary art, photography, design, jewelry, watches, wine and Asian Art. Amsterdam is where it all begins, but their alliances and partnerships extend throughout all of Europe.

Flexible and cost-efficient
Art Europe Auctions, located at The Lange Voorhout in The Hague, is an initiative of former Sotheby’s Director, Peter-Paul Guthman (1970). Together with finance expert Roderick Preys (1969), Guthman runs a team of young, highly educated employees, strengthened by experienced specialists and art consultants from around Europe. With AEA’s dynamic team, her technological know-how and her varying locations for auctions, AEA is able to work cost efficiently and customer oriented; this translates into favourable rates for consignors and buyers.
