The history of what is known to be the world's oldest family-owned auction house, Kunsthaus Lempertz, began in Bonn in 1798 as an "antiquarian bookshop with auction house" selling books and prints. Today, with its headquarters in Cologne, Kunsthaus Lempertz is one of the leading auction houses in Europe, with around 20 auctions held annually. With over 150 years of experience, Kunsthaus Lempertz focuses on the sale of Old Master paintings, decorative arts, modern and contemporary art, photographs and East Asian art.
