Artcurial
Germany
In 2015, Artcurial opened an office in Germany in the arcades of Munich’s Hofgarten. Located in the heart of the city and managed by Miriam Krohne, it is the place to be for connoisseurs and collectors from Germany and German-speaking countries. With this opening the firm further strengthened its worldwide presence and international network in order to offer a local service to its foreign clients.
Artcurial’s specialists regularly travel to Germany by appointment, when they can establish with you the most appropriate sales strategy for your property. They can also provide tailor-made advice in the context of inheritance or insurance inventories.
Free and confidential valuation days covering all of the firm’s specialities are also organised in Germany on the dates shown below.
Artcurial Germany’s gallery space regularly hosts previews of important pieces from upcoming sales in Paris and Monaco.
Additionally, the German office is very involved in the Munich cultural calendar through the organisation of cultural events in collaboration with local galleries.
