The German auctioneers Ketterer Kunst will mark the opening of their first purpose-built saleroom at Neue Messe in Munich with a traditional Bavarian-style topping-out ceremony on July 23.
The three-storey, 3500 square metre structure was designed by Munich architects Franz and Sacher and will include a saleroom, exhibition area, “art lounge”, café bar and an enormous display window measuring eight by 23 metres.
Some €1.5m has been earmarked for the environmentally friendly building which will include a geothermal heat pump system which will use ground-water to keep the building warm in winter and cool in summer.
