Source Title Galerie Koller Auctions
Description Galerie Koller or Koller Auctions of Zurich and Geneva, Switzerland, goes back to 1958, when 34-year-old Pierre Koller opened a gallery of equestrian engravings and antique furniture in Zurich. By 1960, he was conducting his first auction, focused on a collection of clocks he had received on consignment.

Since that time, the firm has experienced substantial growth, now having representatives is far-flung places such as Shanghai and Moscow, as well as more expected locations such as London and Paris. It now features all types of works of art along with books and other works on paper. Koller's is still family run, Cyril Koller succeeding his father in 1998. In 2008, the firm officially changed its name from "Galerie Koller" to "Koller Auctions."
