Villa Grisebach, Art auction house in Charlottenburg, Germany
Villa Grisebach is an auction house set in a Berlin townhouse built in 1891 by architect Hans Grisebach in the Charlottenburg neighborhood. The building retains its original rooms and artist studio, now used for conducting sales of modern art and photography.
Architect Hans Grisebach built this house in 1891 as one of Berlin's first standalone townhouses with an attached studio. The building survived over a century in its original form before being converted into an art auction venue.
The name reflects its original architect and resident Hans Grisebach, who designed it as both home and studio space. The rooms blend living and artistic functions in a way that shows how creative professionals of that era organized their lives.
The house is open to visitors during scheduled auction events, which typically take place on weekends throughout the year. It is wise to check the auction calendar in advance and arrive early to view the displayed artworks without rushing.
The house gained note as a venue where significant works by major modern artists changed hands over the decades. This connection to Berlin's artistic past gives the space a deeper role beyond simply conducting sales.
