Art + Object @artandobject
Art + Object is hosting an auction featuring Robert Kipniss' mezzotints, color lithographs, and paintings from December 6, 2025, to January 10, 2026.
The calendar’s first major painting event wraps up at the end of December, when Claydon Auctioneers concludes its two‑day sale on December 30‑31. Buyers can view the lot of paintings during the preceding day’s open house, and the final hammer falls just before the year’s close, underscoring a surge of interest in canvas works as the season ends.
Following that, the market shifts to early 2026, where a series of auctions across the UK, US and Europe spotlight paintings alongside other offerings. Harper Field Auctioneers & Valuers in Stroud schedules its January auction for the new year, featuring a curated selection of paintings that range from contemporary landscapes to historic portraits. Shortly thereafter, Nigel Ward & Company launches a two‑day early‑January sale at The New Salerooms in Pontrilas, where oil paintings and watercolour paintings are highlighted among the featured items, reflecting a renewed appetite for both traditional and modern techniques.
Across the Atlantic, the K And B Auction Company rolls out its New Year’s Online Auction Extravaganza, ending at 6 p.m. on the first day of the year, with a dedicated segment for paintings that includes works by emerging artists and established names. Meanwhile, Monarch Auction And Estate Services in Peoria, AZ, concludes its gallery collection at 9 a.m., again placing paintings at the forefront of the catalogue.
In North America, Four Sales Ltd’s Annual Best of the Best Live Estate Auction, timed for early morning, presents a selection of paintings that illustrate current trends toward bold color fields and abstract compositions. Finally, Nuvens d'ABSTRACÇÃO in Braga opens its doors for a mixed‑media event that, while featuring diverse items, earmarks a prominent slot for paintings, signaling the medium’s continued relevance across varied market formats.
Collectively, these auctions reveal a clear trajectory: paintings are not only maintaining their classic appeal but are also adapting to new collector preferences, with increased representation of both oil and watercolour works, and a growing emphasis on contemporary creators as the market moves into the new year.
