About Kunstveiling, the online auction for art and design

At Kunstveiling, art and design enthusiasts meet on the largest online art platform in the Netherlands and beyond! Kunstveiling is the place where you can buy and sell unique art objects.

Participating in a traditional auction is unfamiliar, exciting, or financially unfeasible for many people. At Kunstveiling, acquiring art is accessible and affordable because the auctioning takes place exclusively online. Our main motivation is to make participating in auctions accessible for both (starting) buyers and sellers, as well as professional collectors and dealers.

A modern auction house: sell yourself via your Kunstveiling account

At Kunstveiling, you can easily place items in the auction yourself (as a private or business seller) from your personal user account. Not yet a member of Kunstveiling? Create your own account here easily and start selling immediately! Would you like to know more about offering artworks via the auction? Then also read the pages Selling Art and the page with selling tips. You can also get free and non-binding appraisals of your artworks.

"Buying art is not only fun, but also sustainable and distinctive."



History

Kunstveiling.nl was founded in 2010 by Arthur Brouwers from his passion for art and the internet. It started small: a temporary storage, one employee, and a simple website. Kunstveiling has since grown into one of the largest online auction platforms in the Netherlands and also in Belgium, with a professional team working behind the scenes in Amstelveen. Kunstveiling was named the most popular website and best website of the year in the art category in both 2018 and 2020. By now, more than 500,000 items have been auctioned and more than 150,000 members use Kunstveiling.

Since early 2021, Kunstveiling has been active in Germany under the name Artpeers.de en since 2023 in France Artpeers.fr en Austria Artpeers.at
