Works of Art & Art Nouveau

Our Experts for Your Art

The Department

Works of Art & Art Nouveau counts as one of VAN HAM's oldest and most traditional departments. Founded in 1959 by Carola van Ham, it constituted the core business of the auction house. Susanne Mehrgardt continues this tradition today; his commitment has made the Works of Art & Art Nouveau Department one of Germany's most successful.

Entire collections of museum-quality objects are often entrusted to VAN HAM; these include the Laurenzen, Grothe, and Freckmann Collections. Equally valuable and at times spectacular individual consignments have also found their rightful place among the pages of the department's elaborately designed catalogues. Through well-established connections to collectors, public institutions, and museums, the department's sales have always been crowned with successes.

The offerings appear in three sales per year and cover select furniture, silver, porcelain and art objects, and Art Nouveau and Art Deco objects, among several other categories.
