That is quite a collection of art that you have. Congratulations!
Having lived in Germany for over 3 years, I was interested in finding
out about the availability of fine art auction houses. I found
several auction houses, but focused on the ones that sell
art/paintings and mentioned 20th century/modern paintings. There are
several auction houses in Germany that I am sure would be interested
in discussing the option of auctioning those works.
Kunsthaus Lempertz - Koln (Cologne)
One of the oldest and most famous auction houses in Germany is
Kunsthaus Lempertz. Founded in 1845, Lempertz is a leading auction
house for books and contemporary art.

Another house in Cologne that may be interested would be Van Ham Fine
Arts. Since 1959, Van Ham has offered auctions in antiques and fine
art. In 2001, Van Ham held an auction for a painting that fetche
DM5.7 million (2.9 million Euros), the highest selling auction sale
for a painting ever in Germany.

In Hilden is the Hilden Auctionhouse and Gallery. For 30 years, a
gallery and auction house of fine art. They can be found at

Established in 1893, Auction House Michael Zeller in Bindergrasse
holds 5 major auctions each year. They are at http://www.zeller.de

At http://www.schloss-ahlden.de/, you will find Kunstauktionhaus
Schloss Alden. With 3 to 4 major auctions a year as well as
consignment options, Schloss-Alden covers antiques to fine art.
I wish you luck and success with your auctions! Thank you for your
