Art auction hero banner

The October calendar is packed with art auctions across Europe and beyond. On October 2, Ader in Paris will present its ‘Art Moderne et Contemporain – Afrique, Moyen‑Orient et Extrême‑Orient’ sale, spotlighting modern and contemporary works from African, Middle Eastern and Asian creators, a clear sign of growing collector interest in non‑Western narratives. A week later, Art & Antiques Auctioneers in London schedules a dedicated works‑of‑art session on October 14, offering a mixed programme of recent contemporary pieces and established names, underscoring the market’s appetite for fresh talent alongside proven quality.

The momentum continues on October 15 when Artcurial launches its Old Master, British & European art auction in Paris, bringing together historic masterpieces from the Renaissance to the 19th century, while the same house follows up on October 25 with the Selected 20/21 sale, a showcase of modern and contemporary art that includes emerging European and American creators, reflecting a dual focus on heritage and cutting‑edge practice.

November’s agenda shifts toward marquee masterpieces. Artcurial’s Guido Reni auction on November 25 will feature the Baroque master’s rare works, attracting high‑end buyers and signalling confidence in the upper tier of the market. The following day, Deutsche and Hackett in London presents its Australian and International art auction, a broad platform that merges Southern Hemisphere perspectives with global trends, highlighting the increasing cross‑continental flow of artworks.

Across these events, several trends emerge: a pronounced diversification of geographic sources, with African, Middle Eastern and Asian modern art gaining prominence; a balanced programme that pairs historic Old Master pieces with contemporary creations; and a steady stream of online and live formats that widen participation. Collectors and institutions alike can expect a dynamic season where legacy and innovation intersect, offering opportunities to acquire both timeless classics and the next generation of artistic expression.
