Art auction hero banner

The first major art auction to close this season is the KODL Gallery sale on December 30, 2025, featuring a curated selection of Czech paintings, drawings, graphics and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries. Collectors will find works ranging from academic portraiture to avant‑garde abstraction, all offered with a preview day that encourages in‑person inspection before online bidding.

Following that, the spring‑forward calendar is dominated by a wave of 2026 events that showcase the expanding diversity of the market. Scotland’s Scottish Contemporary Art Auction brings a fresh batch of emerging and established Scottish creators, emphasizing bold colour and social commentary. In Australia, Aboriginal Art & Textiles in Broome highlights hand‑woven textiles and high‑end linens crafted by Indigenous women, underscoring a growing appetite for culturally rooted pieces.

The Chaffee Art Center’s 3rd Annual Cabaret & Silent Art Auction (2026) offers a community‑driven mix of local paintings and mixed‑media works, while Charleston’s Major Art Auction presents a cross‑continental roster of Australian modernists and Aboriginal artists, all listed with unreserved prices to stimulate competitive bidding.

Mid‑year, Adam Partridge Auctioneers will rotate Asian art, ceramics and contemporary pieces across its UK venues, reflecting a trend toward regional pop‑ups that cater to niche collector bases. Morton Subastas in Mexico adds a Latin American flavor with its Subasta de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo, spotlighting post‑war Mexican painters alongside international contemporaries.

Later in the year, du Plessis Auction Gallery and Bay Area Modern Auctions each schedule online‑first sales that blend fine art with design objects, illustrating the market’s shift toward hybrid formats that combine live previews, virtual catalogues and real‑time bidding. Across these auctions, three clear trends emerge: a heightened focus on indigenous and culturally specific art, the rise of silent and online‑only formats that broaden buyer access, and an increasing willingness to present mixed‑genre collections that pair classic works with contemporary experimentation. Collectors and consignors alike are navigating a vibrant, globally connected art auction landscape that promises both discovery and dynamic price action.
