We have been buying and selling original posters for over
twenty years. In 1984, we became one of the first auction houses to specialize in poster-only
auctions. We held our first auction 1984 in Germany (Jörg Weigelt Auktionen). Since
then, we have published over 68 catalogs for our German sales alone. In 1995, we
established an outlet in the San Francisco Bay Area where we have been conducting our U.S.
auctions (PosterConnection, Inc.).
The posters in our auctions always come from a wide
array of subject areas and have dated from as early as the 1850s through contemporary
classics from the 1990s. While most of our catalogs present a mixed bag of
international posters related to advertising, travel, art & culture and propaganda, we
have published specialized catalogs in the areas of film, rock & roll, military &
politics, photography and books & ephemera. All of our U.S. catalogs (and all German
catalogs after auction 36) have been published in full-color and the highest printing
quality. Catalogs are available in full for online viewing.
In 2000, we were the first to allow live online participation in
poster auctions. You can now participate in our San Francisco sales live in person, by
absentee ballot or directly from the comfort of your home from your personal computer. Our
four annual auctions are scheduled during the months of March and September in Hannover
and in April and November in San Francisco. In addition to our live and online sales, we are
also offering posters through weekly online only sales without any buyer's
premium. |
