In 1979, Antonio Climent Benaiges —a pioneer importer of antiques— and Juan Baldrich decided to establish an auction house that would become a sector benchmark. The name, Bal-cli-s is a neologism derived from the fusion of their family names. They were both attracted to a new and compelling business model that had taken root in England. Their budding auction house contributed to promoting and spreading an interest in art and in auctions among the general public. Balclis took on a key educational role laying the groundwork for greater transparency in the art market. In 1995, Tachu Climent took over and introduced a new company vision with very clear objectives: the international expansion of the firm, the reinforcement of institutional relations, and the creation of a highly experienced team to provide the best advice possible to collectors. The main objective of Balclis is to simplify the access to the fascinating world of art and to becoming an art collector. The passion and expertise of the specialists at Balclis have helped the firm become the point of reference for leading Spanish museums and collectors of Spanish art worldwide. Balclis has auctioned more than 200,000 works of art, jewelry, and antiques since it was founded, achieving outstanding hammer prices for Old Master and Contemporary Paintings, especially from the 19th and 20th centuries.
