Review 2025

4 Back to our roots. Under this guiding theme, we will open our new KOLLER CITY SPACE at Rämistrasse 5 in Jan- uary 2026. Here, where our auction house was based for thirty years, the story comes full circle. Pierre Koller, who founded the company as a small antiques shop in 1958, moved into premises at Rämistrasse 8 in 1961, just a few steps from the legendary Kro- nenhalle restaurant. The former Gal- erie Koller quickly became a pioneer of the Zurich art and antiques trade – and a place where collectors, dealers and curious visitors would meet. In 1991, the auction house relocated from Rämistrasse to Hardturmstrasse. Over the past 35 years, we have devel- oped a modern auction house here. Across 1600 square metres, more than 9000 objects are exhibited each year prior to auction. Eighty members of staff, art storage, conservation work- shops and our extensive archive have since been brought together under one roof. Despite this excellent infrastructure, we always retained the desire to main- tain a presence – a kind of shop win- dow – in the heart of Zurich. With our new, intimate showroom at Rämistrasse 5, we are now realising this long-held wish. Here we present highlights from forthcoming auctions, share insights into recent auction re- sults, and offer personal advice to cli- ents wishing to have works of art ap- praised and sold by our specialists. We very much look forward to this new space – and to welcoming you. The former Galerie Koller on the Rämistrasse in the 1970s.
