Munich, June 3, 2020, (kk) - Internet auctions continue to gain momentum. "Total proceeds of around € 500,000, grossed in our Online Only Auctions in May alone, clearly underline the importance of the digital auction platform," says Robert Ketterer, owner of Ketterer Kunst, Germany's leading art auction house. This is an eight-fold of the total grossed over the same period last year. And the tendency is upwards. A permanent presence and the high quality of artworks offered on www.ketterer-internet-auctions.com catches on.

This trend is not only reflected by a skyrocketing number of bids, but also by sharp price increases and top results. In May nine works were knocked down beyond the € 10,000 mark. Realizing a threefold of its starting price Emil Schumacher's mixed media work even fetched € 22,500.

"This proves one thing:", explains company owner Robert Ketterer, "People also buy upscale works on the internet. It is just a question of time before we jump the € 100,000 line."

The family company Ketterer Kunst (www.kettererkunst.com and www.ketterer-internet-auctions.com) with headquarters in Munich and branches in Hamburg, Duesseldorf, Berlin as well as with a global network of representatives in , among others, the USA and Brazil, was founded in 1954. It is one of the leading houses for auctions of fine art from the 19th to the 21st Century and Rare Books. According to the latest figures issued by artnet price database for 2019, Ketterer Kunst holds place 11 in the ranking for Art after 1900 and is the world's strongest-selling family business for Art of the 20th Century.
