“It is quite a characteristic indicator for the extraordinary boom of the art market here in Berlin, that Munich’s great auctioneer H. Helbing recently opened a branch here together with Paul Cassirer who is Berlin’s most successful dealer for modern paintings. This is the second house for art auctions after R. Lepke’s.” Quotation of Wilhelm von Bode after Kurt Mühsam: Die Kunstauktion. Licht- und Schattenseiten des Versteigerungswesens im Kunst- und Antiquitätenhandel für Käufer und Verkäufer, Berlin 1923, p. 172
