With the choice of Sarah Miltenberger as Head of the Contemporary Art department, Grisebach has made a strong appointment: experienced in the art trade and with an excellent international network, Sarah Miltenberger comes from König Galerie, where she has worked as Senior Director from 2015 to the present day. Previous positions include Carlier Gebauer, Galerie Zink and Eigen & Art.
With this personnel reinforcement, Grisebach is focusing even more specifically on the contemporary international market and further consolidating its already strong position here - an important step in the implementation of our current corporate strategy. Contemporary art will be placed on an equal footing with the main pillar of the company - classical modernism. This is a clear signal for the internationality, future and growth of the auction house.
The previous head of our Munich branch and expert in contemporary art, Jesco von Puttkamer, will lead the company's fortunes far beyond southern Germany as Senior Director and Senior Specialist and will now also be responsible for Austria and Italy.
37-year-old Moritz von der Heydte, who began his career at Sotheby's in London and has been Director of Artcurial Germany's Munich branch since autumn 2015, will take over the management of Grisebach's representative office in Munich in March - a strong boost for Grisebach in the south and at the same time an expression of our confidence in the strength of the market and the density of collectors and artworks in this region
