The auction calendar is filling quickly, with a wave of art sales set to close in the coming weeks. The earliest deadlines arrive on October 19, when several timed events conclude, including a British 20th‑century and contemporary art sale that rounds out the month’s first wave. The following day, October 20, a mixed‑medium art auction in Bristol & Bath ends, offering works ranging from modern abstraction to early 20th‑century European pieces. On October 21, Thomas Watson hosts a live auction featuring a curated selection of contemporary and historic art, marking the first in‑person event of the schedule.
October 22 sees the close of Call to Consign’s “Arms, Armor and Militaria” lot, but its parallel “Masterclass in Art” auction runs through October 28, spotlighting emerging and established artists across several styles. The next notable deadline falls on October 24, when Osenat’s “Art Russe et de l'Europe de l'Est” auction ends, presenting a broad spectrum of Russian and Eastern European art. A cluster of events follows on October 27 and 28, including the end of the “Selected Works” auction in Dallas and the conclusion of the “Modern Works and Multiples” online sale, both highlighting contemporary creations.
October 30 wraps up the “Important Art” auction in the UK, featuring a mix of modern and post‑war pieces. Moving into November, the schedule accelerates: November 5 brings Keys Norfolk’s Modern Art & Design auction, while November 7‑8 sees a dual‑day sale of contemporary art and design in the same venue. Subsequent November dates—11‑12, 14, 19‑20, and 21—host a series of regional auctions, each emphasizing works from Asian, African, and American traditions.
The mid‑month peak arrives on November 22‑23 with Amoskeag’s high‑profile sale, showcasing significant 19th‑century American art alongside European masters. Late‑month events include the Piguet Hotel des Ventes Geneva series (Nov 27‑Dec 11) and Grisebach’s Winter Auctions (Nov 27‑28), both offering a curated mix of contemporary, modern, and historic art from global markets. The final wave concludes in December with Zeeuws Veilinghuis’s online art and antiques auction (Dec 8‑15) and a closing sale in Geneva on Dec 11.
Across the calendar, the dominant trends are a strong focus on contemporary and modern art, a resurgence of interest in Asian and African works, and a steady flow of European 20th‑century pieces, reflecting collectors’ appetite for diverse, globally sourced art as the season progresses.
