Art dealerships

Our information system ‘German Sales Institutions (GSI) – Auction Houses, Galleries, Antique Bookshops’ provides convenient access to company data on currently around 1,200 art dealers active in Germany, Austria and Switzerland between 1901 and 1945. In addition to company names, addresses, and key actors (owners, managing directors, appraisers/experts, auctioneers, curators, etc.), the database also includes thematic focal points, further information on company history, and relevant research literature. In addition, as part of the various sub-projects of German Sales, contextual information or specific references to the sources processed are being compiled and will be presented here gradually.
