Koch maintained studios in NYC and Mystic, CT after the turn of the century. After visiting California in 1914, he returned in 1917 to establish a home in the Carmel Highlands. Due to anti-German sentiment in the U.S. during WWI, for about a decade he spelled his name Kotch. He was a co-founder of the Carmel Art Association in 1927 and served as director for the first two years. A highly skilled painter, his oversize oils include marines and landscapes of the Monterey Peninsula which have sold in the past at auction for as much as $12,000 ("Carmel Breakers" Butterfield's 1996). Recently - since 2001 - the average price his paintings have sold for is $3,215. A full list of paintings sold since 1980's is available on request.
