Art auction hero banner

The art market is buzzing as a wave of auctions closes in September, showcasing a blend of contemporary works, Asian masterpieces, and innovative online formats.

First to wrap up on September 9 are two parallel sales of Modern British and 20th‑Century art, offered by The‑Saleroom.com and Gorringe’s. Both feature a curated selection of post‑war paintings and prints, giving collectors a final chance to acquire mid‑century pieces before the deadline.

The following day, September 10, Art & Antiques Auctioneers concludes its Asian art auction, highlighting Chinese and Japanese paintings, calligraphy, and ceramics that reflect a growing appetite for East‑Asian aesthetics among Western buyers.

A longer‑running trend is the rise of timed online auctions. Grisebach’s “Online Only Contemporary” sale runs from September 12 through September 28, presenting works by emerging and established contemporary artists across multiple mediums. Simultaneously, Artcurial’s “Neo Rauch & Rosa Loys ‘Lohengrin’” auction, also ending on September 28, offers a focused collection of post‑modern German paintings and sculptures, underscoring the market’s enthusiasm for niche contemporary series.

Mid‑month, Artmark’s “Art Crush” auction closes on September 23, spotlighting a diverse roster of living artists, from abstract painters to figurative sculptors, and reinforcing the demand for fresh, market‑ready talent.

On September 24, the North East auction house wraps its Modern Art & Design sale, featuring a mix of contemporary paintings, limited‑edition prints, and design objects that blur the line between fine art and functional aesthetics. The following day, September 25, the same house concludes a Fine Asian Art auction, presenting rare scroll paintings and delicate porcelain works that appeal to collectors seeking high‑quality Asian heritage pieces.

Looking ahead, the October 21 deadline for Gorringe’s Asian Ceramics and Works of Art auction signals continued interest in historic Asian ceramics, reinforcing a broader trend of collectors diversifying beyond Western contemporary art.

Overall, September’s lineup reflects a dynamic market: rapid‑fire online sales for contemporary creators, sustained enthusiasm for Asian art, and targeted thematic auctions that cater to both seasoned collectors and newcomers eager to explore fresh artistic frontiers.
