Mallet Auction

Biography

With the mission of expanding and developing the auction market, Mallet Japan Inc. was established in May 2005 by Tomoaki Takahashi who had been the main auctioneer at one of the largest auction houses in Japan for the past few decades where he had cultivated his experience and expertise in the art auction business. Mallet Japan intends to carve out an unassailable position for itself both here at home in Japan, where the auction market is currently dominated by a handful of players, and on the international market. To that end we aim to establish an ongoing record of success as an auction house specializing in high-priced pieces by Japanese artists, as well as by internationally marketable artists from overseas. Mallet Japan offeres eight sales a year that cover a wide range of 19th, modern and contemprary art by European, American, Japanese and Asian artists.
