2 Dear clients and friends Our September auctions will focus on Old Masters and antiques: paintings, drawings and graphic works from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, fine furniture, sculpture and porcelain, books andmanuscripts will be offered from 23 to 25 September. Since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, we have held nearly 40 auctions, both in the saleroom and online. The good to excellent results in almost all categories confirmed our impression that the art market is in good health. The difficult conditions this spring limited opportunities to acquire consignments for auction. We are therefore especially pleased to present some exceptional and art-historically relevant lots in our next sales. Among these is a large-format early work by Jacob Jordaens, probably the most important Flemish artist of the 17th century after Rubens and van Dyck, which is featured on the cover of this issue. In the first week of December, we will again hold auctions of Swiss art, international paintings and prints from Impressionism to the 21st century, and wristwatches and high-quality jewellery. The current worldwide short- age of works of art at auction caused by the Covid-19 crisis actually offers increased prospects of success for art owners who seek to sell. As recent results have shown, the demand for quality art remains strong. Our specialists in Zurich and Geneva, as well as the staff in our representative offices, will be happy to consult with you about works you may wish to offer at auction Yours, Cyril Koller KOLLERview is published four times annually, in English and in German.
