Lisa Kok has always been interested in art. Unfortunately, she was not blessed with the genes of an artist, so she opted for the theoretical side and studied art history. She successfully rounded this off with internships at various international auction houses. She also opened her own gallery with the aim of exhibiting promising young artists. After a few years, she moved to Hamburg, where she again worked at an auction house. Until she came across Catawiki.

For Lisa, modern art offers a unique look at the spirit of the age. It acts as a mirror held up before you, shaped by the artist. She views the art on offer with that in mind, and is always able to make a varied selection. She likes to include work by well-known artists such as Käthe Kollwitz and Herbert Zangs, but as yet unknown artists can also make an appearance. Thanks to her gallery experience and her trained eye for art, she includes exciting, quality works in the auction, on which visitors are always happy to bid.
