Final Note for 2024 at Lempertz

Lempertz can look back on a successful year at all its locations, with unique works of art contributing to a pleasing annual turnover. To crown the year, a distinguished guest visited Cologne.  

Claude Monet, Mer agitée à Pourville, 1882, oil on canvas, 59,5 x 73,5 cm, Result: 3,700.000 €

With auctions in Berlin, Cologne and Brussels, Kunsthaus Lempertz and Venator & Hanstein achieved a very respectable turnover of 57,08 million euro, not including the Online Only auctions. The most expensive work of the year was the painting ‘Mer agitée à Pourville’ by the French Impressionist Claude Monet. 
A particularly nice finale was a visit from the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who had been invited to dinner by the publisher following the presentation of her memoirs in Cologne.
