Auction Technology Group (ATG) – owner of Antiques Trade Gazette and thesaleroom. com – has merged with German art and antiques portal Lot-tissimo.com.
Founded in 2002 by Jörg Wisniewski, the Lot-tissimo. com website lists art and antiques auctions from across Europe. Around 270 auctioneers use the portal, which has listed 12m lots since 2002.
The deal will allow auctioneers to list and webcast their sales on Lot-tissimo.com, auction.fr and thesaleroom.com, providing auctioneers with a presence in Europe’s three largest art markets (the UK, France and Germany) through one catalogue upload and a single operator app.
