Prices, consignment, auction results and where the trade is moving, read from the selling side.
Sotheby's, Christie's and Phillips held 18 modern and contemporary evening sales between January and June 2026, worth about 2.91 billion dollars. Three-quarters of it changed hands in one week in May, and eight of the 18 sales sold every lot they offered.
Seoul Auction and K Auction held their August 2026 major sales a day apart. Nearly half the modern and contemporary lots sold at precisely the bottom of their estimate range, including every one of the big Korean names.
