Art Auctions Heat Up: Modern, Irish, and International Works Lead the Season
Art auction hero banner

The art auction calendar is rapidly filling as the autumn market opens. On November 2, Levis Auctions will close a single-day sale featuring paintings and works on paper by a roster of North American and European artists, offering collectors a chance to acquire pieces ranging from emerging talent to established names. A week later, Phillip Serrell Auctioneers presents its first November art sale, a curated collection of paintings, drawings and prints that emphasizes contemporary trends and strong visual narratives; the auction concludes on November 6, the same day Winchester’s online sale ends, though that event also includes non‑art categories and is noted here only for its timing.

The mid‑month spotlight shifts to Stockholm, where the Modern Art & Design Sale on November 19 showcases a broad spectrum of post‑war European and American art, highlighting abstract expressionism and geometric abstraction alongside design objects that complement the visual focus. Simultaneously, Art & Antiques Auctioneers runs a Modern & Contemporary Art auction, also ending on November 19, bringing together recent works by emerging international artists and a selection of late‑20th‑century pieces.

Moving into the final weeks of the year, Gormleys Fine Art schedules an Irish and International Art auction for November 25, featuring a mix of landscape paintings, figurative works and contemporary Irish pieces that reflect the region’s evolving artistic voice. Early December sees two back‑to‑back events: Hodges Fine Art will close its December 1 art auction, presenting a diverse array of paintings and works on paper from both established and emerging creators, while Gorringe’s Fine Art & Design Post follows on December 2 with a focus on modern artistic works that blend traditional techniques with experimental media.

Phillip Serrell rounds out the season with a second November art sale on November 27, offering a fresh selection of contemporary paintings and prints. Across these dates, the prevailing trend is a strong demand for contemporary and modern art, with a notable emphasis on regional Irish contributions and a growing interest in cross‑cultural works that bridge classic techniques and new visual languages.
