CMS advises Weng Fine Art AG on stock exchange comeback

Cologne – Art dealer Weng Fine Art AG has returned to the stock market. Its shares have been listed in the m:access quality segment of the Munich Stock Exchange since last Thursday, having previously been listed from 2012 to 2016 in Frankfurt. This is the first relisting of a company that exited the stock market during the wave of delistings that commenced in 2015.

A CMS team headed by lead partner Dr Richard Mayer-Uellner advised Weng Fine Art AG on the legal aspects of resuming the listing. CMS has been providing support to the company in all legal matters for several years now.

Weng Fine Art AG is a leading German firm of art dealers, supplying major international auction houses as well as high-profile dealers and galleries in its core B2B business. Its subsidiary, WFA Online AG, offers print and sculptural editions of the works of the most important contemporary artists, such as Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Alex Katz and Gerhard Richter, worldwide via its Weng Contemporary e-commerce platform.
