For almost a quarter of a century Hong Kong- and Bangkok-based Michael Woerner has been specialized in high-quality works of art from South, Southeast and East Asia. His profound knowledge and hands-on experience, in particular of the early cultures of Southeast Asia, has helped to build major collections worldwide, both private and public.
Michael Woerner is a regular and long-time participant of major art fairs in New York, Brussels, Paris and Cologne. His well-researched catalogues received critical acclaim from scholars, collectors and colleagues alike. An extensive network, in particular in the U.S., in Europe and in Japan supports his vision to continuously offer rare and unusual works of art. Due diligence is taken seriously: all objects are well-documented and furnished with a certificate of the ART LOSS REGISTER, London.
