We use our expertise to find unique hidden gems or works of promising newcomers to the art scene and share them with the photo admirers’ community worldwide. We research, collect, represent, show and offer our bespoke service to a wide range of customers internationally. The company was founded by entrepreneur and photo enthusiast Peter Coeln who for more than two decades now has provided collectors worldwide with the most sought-after vintage cameras and prints available. He established the Leica Shop in Vienna’s 7th district, a mecca for every camera aficionado and also launched WestLicht Museum, whose exhibition programme and unique collection of historic cameras attracts visitors from all over the world, and OstLicht Photo Auction, which twice a year offers masterpieces of fine art photography and has built a history of record-breaking results.
