P. 28 After our headline-making ‘Out of This World’ auction with its star lot, Trinity, which we discuss in this issue of KOLLERview (pp. 26–27), we re- turn to our classic auction themes in June. Live and online-only auctions In addition to the four main auctions of 19 th to 21 st century art, a series of sales from 20 to 23 June will offer watches and jewellery, as well as 18 th to 20 th century furnishings spanning several centuries in an auction en- titled ‘From Baroque to Design’. The Asian Art auctions will take place on 20 June. We are pleased to again exhibit some highlights in Hong Kong after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The most important ob- jects from our other auctions will be exhibited in Geneva and Munich in addition to the full preview in Zurich. An entire series of interesting timed auctions will be online until 29 June – bidding starts on 7 June. You can find the complete auction calendar and all catalogues on our website. Consign your works of fine and decorative art from abroad Thanks to our representative offices, consignments from abroad can be easily made at any time: in our branches in Geneva, Florence, Munich, Düsseldorf and Beijing, we not only regularly exhibit works from our up- coming auctions, but also have a total of eleven staff members at your service for advice and estimates regarding auction consignments. In ad- dition, we organise the entire shipping process, including any customs formalities. We would like to point out that consignors from abroad do not have to pay any VAT on the sale of their objects in Switzerland, re- gardless of whether the objects were already in Switzerland or whether they were imported. Together with our team, I am available for all questions regarding ap- praisals, consignments, shipping, valuations and purchases.
