Selling your Gustav Klimt
If you own or have inherited a Gustav Klimt painting or drawing and are considering selling it, we can manage the entire process—from authentication and appraisal to market positioning, buyer identification, negotiation, and final sale.
Klimt has a strong international market. We evaluate each work individually to determine its current market value, the most appropriate buyers, where and when it should be offered, and whether a private sale or auction is the better strategy.
Why sell your Gustav Klimt through us
Authentication, appraisal and provenance
Before a sale, we review the work’s authentication, provenance, condition, documentation, and current market value. If additional research, authentication, or appraisal is required, we can arrange it.
Finding the right buyers
Depending on the work, we can discreetly approach Klimt collectors, collectors of Austrian and European Modernism, investors, museums, institutions, and other qualified buyers in the United States, Europe, Asia, and internationally.
Private sale or auction
Some Klimt works are best suited to a confidential private sale, while others may benefit from auction. We advise on the appropriate market, timing, pricing, and sales method.
Maximizing your net return
We consider not only the selling price but also commissions, insurance, transportation, currency, payment terms, and other transaction costs that can affect your final return.
Confidential, complete management
We can manage buyer screening, presentation, negotiations, viewings, documentation, insurance, transportation, and payment coordination, while protecting the owner's privacy.
How to sell your Gustav Klimt
To begin, please send us high-resolution photographs of the front and back, dimensions, medium, current location, and any available provenance, authentication, appraisal, or condition documentation.
We welcome inquiries from private owners, collectors, estates, law firms, trustees, and institutions. If your Klimt requires authentication, appraisal, or provenance research before it can be sold, we can handle those services as well.
