Fine art auction hero banner

The auction calendar is filling fast as the season’s most active fine art sales line up. The earliest deadline is the STAIR Galleries Fine Sale on October 29, which will showcase American paintings and works by Edmund C. Tarbell and The Ten, signaling a continued appetite for early‑20th‑century American masters. A day later, Litchfield County Auctions in Connecticut will close on November 5, offering a mix of modern furniture and fine art, reflecting the growing trend of pairing contemporary design with traditional works.

November 6 sees two parallel online events. House of Craven’s digital auction will feature modern design pieces alongside fine art, underscoring the shift toward virtual bidding platforms. At the same time, Busby Auctions’ Interiors & General Sale will bring fine art to a broader audience, emphasizing the crossover between decorative interiors and collectible works.

Mid‑month, the Taos Auction Company’s November 12 sale in Santa Fe adds fine art to a culturally diverse catalogue that includes Ancient Near Eastern and Native American pieces, illustrating how regional houses are integrating fine art into broader thematic sales. Later in the month, Gormleys Fine Art will present an Irish and International auction on November 25, while Deutscher and Hackett follows on November 26 with a dedicated Australian and International fine art event in Melbourne, highlighting the global reach of contemporary and emerging artists.

December kicks off with Hodgins Fine Art’s Fall auction on the 1st, focusing on Canadian and International paintings, prints, sculpture and Indigenous art, a clear nod to the rising demand for inclusive, multicultural programming. The next day, Gorringe’s Art & Design Post will spotlight modern artistic works, reinforcing the market’s enthusiasm for post‑war and contemporary design. Finally, the month closes with two major sales on December 11: Morphy’s Fine & Decorative Arts auction and House of Craven’s "Best of Art Week Miami" online event, both blending fine art with high‑design objects and confirming that collectors are seeking curated, cross‑category experiences as the year ends.
