MUNICH.- Ketterer Kunst, a pioneer in internet-based art auctions, has good reason to celebrate, as Germany‘s top selling auction house made online auctions part of its business as early as in 2007.

“We were the first auction house to recognize the potential of internet auctions in the mid 2000s. It was clear from the start that the internet was a future market place for art auctions and that we had to follow the path,“ says company owner Robert Ketterer. He continues: “While there still was a lot of skepticism in the sector, we had strong faith in the success and were convinced that we would manage to serve a market of objects that cannot be offered in a conventional salesroom auction due to high catalog expenses and the logistic efforts.“

Record proceeds – Merits of innovativeness
Meanwhile the prognosis has proven to be true and the company‘ s pioneering spirit has paid off, as top hammer prices are knocked down regularly not only in Ketterer Kunst‘s salesroom auctions. More than 60 years of art market- and auction knowledge combined with ten year of online experience are extremely valuable. Both platforms benefit from the coexistence under one roof, as clients from either segment become aware of the other option. Resulting synergistic effects make for record prices on the internet-based market, too.

A number of factors must be taken into account for successful internet auctions. Experts at Ketterer Kunst know all of them. They know how to satisfy needs of new clients who just begin to discover the exciting field of online auctions, as well as those of longtime art players. Reliability and creativity are the cornerstones of the house’s success – not only on the net.
