Galerie Kornfeld Auktionen AG

The Swiss Gallery Kornfeld Auktionen is one of the leading auction houses in Europe and for over 150 years has stood for a long tradition and expertise that is appreciated by collectors all over the world and is second to none. Founded in 1864, the auction house is based since 1920 in Bern. We specialise in 19th to 21st century art and Old Master prints. We are also academically active; we published the relevant catalogues raisonnés of prints of artists such as Max Beckmann, Marc Chagall, Paul Gauguin, Alberto and Giovanni Giacometti, Paul Klee, Käthe Kollwitz, Pablo Picasso or Paul Signac. The capital of Switzerland, lies in the heart of Europe and is internationally well-connected. Our annual auction series impresses with the high quality of its offerings and represents a lively social event that attracts collectors, museum curators and art lovers from all over the world. Art-dealing in Bern has unmatched economic advantages too: the value-added tax is just 7.7 percent and no levies are imposed either for the droit de suite or the artistsâ?? social insurance. Moreover, we are able to offer very interesting and competitive commission rates for sellers and buyers. We would be delighted to advise you on potential sales or consignments of individual objects as well as of entire collection and inheritances. You are always most welcome to visit our premises in Bern but we would also be happy to visit you, whether in Switzerland or abroad.
