The closing week of December is turning into a whirlwind of art sales. On the 27th, Art Legacy Auctions launches its Fine Art Holiday Auction, spotlighting contemporary paintings and limited‑edition prints that appeal to both seasoned collectors and new buyers. The same day, a Pebble Beach estate auction offers an eclectic mix that includes high‑profile fine art alongside other prized items, while Trillium Antique Prints & Rare Books presents a curated selection of historic maps and prints, underscoring the enduring demand for paper‑based works.
December 28 sees three marquee events. Art Group99 unveils an Andy Warhol collection featuring iconic silkscreen pieces and decorative art, drawing intense online bidding. William George’s low‑reserve gallery clearance showcases masterpieces by Kandinsky, Hopper, Dali, Picasso, Chagall, Klimt, Mondrian and Haring, highlighting a trend toward blockbuster, name‑artist sales at the year’s end. Meanwhile, the Antique Arena Fine Art and Antique Estate Auction and DejaVu’s massive warehouse liquidation both include substantial art inventories, from modern canvases to classic decorative pieces, reflecting how auction houses are bundling art with broader estate offerings to attract diverse audiences.
The 29th brings a series of specialist art auctions. Auctioneum Ltd’s 20th‑Century and Contemporary Art Auction delivers a focused catalogue of post‑war and contemporary works, while Clarkes Auctions at Semley runs a three‑day antiques sale that features Asian art and rare ceramics. Bolton Auction Rooms adds a festive timed sale of decorative arts, and Hans International Auction Co. presents an Important Asian Antiques and Masterpieces Auction, signaling strong buyer interest in Asian art. Criterion Auctioneers rounds out the day with an Art, Antiques & Attic Sale, emphasizing the appeal of hidden‑gem discoveries.
On the 30th, Rhoswens hosts the Modern & Traditional Art Collection Live Auction, blending cutting‑edge contemporary pieces with classic works, and Artcurial’s Un Hiver Marocain exhibition showcases Moroccan and African contemporary art, illustrating a growing appetite for non‑Western narratives. The final day of the month, December 31, concludes with Kunst‑ & Auktionshaus Schloss Hagenburg’s Auction 116, a mixed lot of art and antiques that caps the year’s activity.
Looking ahead into 2026, auction houses such as RoGallery, Magnusson Art Group, and Art + Object are scheduling large‑scale online art auctions, many featuring modern and contemporary collections, Asian art, and limited‑edition prints. The overall trend points to an increasingly digital marketplace, thematic specialization, and a focus on high‑profile name‑artist offerings as the sector moves into the new year.
