Kimberly Hong holds a B.A. degree in Art History and Communications from Saint Louis University. She earned her M.A. degree in Art History from the University of Oregon. She is a member of the International Society of Appraisers and serves on their Antiques, Furnishings & Decorative Arts Committee.

Ahlers & Ogletree is a full-service auction house located in Atlanta, Georgia. Owned and operated by Robert Ahlers and his wife, Christy Ogletree Ahlers, the duo combines their collective 40 years’ of experience to connect sellers and buyers with rare and coveted items and collections.
“From our earliest days, we realized the story of an item or collection is just as important as the piece itself,” Mr. Ahlers said. “That’s why we’ve always taken the time to painstakingly research and authenticate each item we agree to consign. This attention to detail is an integral reason A&O has been recognized for expanding regional interest in the industry, fostering an environment of integrity and honesty, and for introducing an innovative brand that offers turn-key service for any estate.”
Today, sellers and buyers enjoy 12 -15 auctions each year, featuring a diverse assortment of carefully curated items and collections including rare objects, fine art, estate jewelry, vintage automobiles, fine silver, collectibles, antique furniture, and rare maps and books.
