Raised by a family who respected and loved books, Sebastian chose a career where he could pursue his passion. Living in many different places during his childhood, books were one of the only things he could really hold onto. This made books Sebastian’s best friends. ‘Books allowed me to discover and explore a new world; a world that children are not always supposed to see,’ Sebastian explains. As a bookdealer and expert on art and photography books, Sebastian often contributes to international magazines. In his auctions, Sebastian makes sure to include an eclectic mix of different types of books, where buyers can choose from a wide range of qualities and varieties of contemporary books. Given his experience and passion for books, his enthusiasm and his will to keep on learning, it looks like Sebastian could not have chosen a better profession than being a books expert at Catawiki.
