German Sales
Auction and sales catalogues are important resources for researching the art market, collecting, the development of taste, and for learning about individual artists and art genres. They are also an indispensable source for provenance research. German Sales currently offers more than 15,500 digitised catalogues mainly from German-speaking countries in open access and searchable in full text. In addition to further gallery publications and historical journals on the art trade, the offering is supplemented by the German Sales Institutions database with comprehensive information on art trading companies and the findings of the research focus ‘Hand copies and protocol catalogues’.
