Jeschke Jádi Auctions

Jeschke Jádi is a Berlin auction house working the art and rare book end of the market, with sales numbered into the 160s — a long-running calendar rather than an occasional one. Recent results give the range: a Christo Store Front enamel from 1965 at €37,485, a Picasso Madoura ceramic edition at €16,250.

What you can buy

• Modern and contemporary art — the house's principal department, including prints and editions by Sam Francis, Christo and Picasso.
• Rare books and prints.
• Classical art, often from noble estates and bourgeois collections.
• Named private collections, sold as dedicated events.

How the bidding works

Sales are scheduled Saturdays starting mid-morning, each with a full online catalogue published in advance and a preview before the day. Unsold lots move to a Nachverkauf — a post-auction sale — which stays open afterwards and is often the quieter way to buy. The house handles consignments, valuations and whole collections, and publishes results.

What to check before you bid

For prints and editions, the catalogue entry is where edition size, state and condition live, and those three things set the price far more than the artist's name. The preview is the time to check; outside preview periods the house keeps ordinary weekday office hours. The site runs in German and English, though catalogue detail is fuller in German.
