About us
Founder
Richard Weinberg
Founder of Weinberg Auction House
"I founded Weinberg with the conviction that exceptional art deserves intimate, highly personalised care. Large auction houses operate on volume — we focus on the story behind every work and every client.
Behind those two words — expertise and discretion — stand real people. Art historians who have devoted their careers to a single artist. Restorers who can spot a forgery under UV light within two minutes. Court-appointed experts whose opinions hold up before the Municipal Court in Prague.
Not every auction house can assemble such a team. It took us years."

Our Approach
A network instead of a single guarantor
Czech and European art of the 20th century is far too diverse for any single person to cover reliably. Josef Čapek and František Kupka, Group 42 and Czech abstraction of the 1960s, Baroque and Art Nouveau — each artist and each era demands a different specialist.
That is why we do not rely on one general expert. Every work is assigned to a specialist with demonstrable knowledge of the particular artist and period. This network — built gradually over years — is our greatest competitive advantage.
