During the week of August 6–12, 2026, the collecting scene will feature online catalogs dedicated to Italian paintings, fine art prints, and thematic collections, as well as international auctions focused on Asian art and high-end jewelry.
In the Italian auction house scene, summer activity is driven primarily by timed auctions running throughout the month. Pananti Auction House is offering two online auctions running throughout the entire period: the sale titled “Artists from the 17th to the 21st Century,” running from August 3 to September 1, 2026, and the “Prints and Editions” sale, running from August 3 to September 2, 2026. At the same time, Finarte is running two web-only auctions, including the “EASY COLLECTING / Swarovski: Art of Light” event through September 2, and the summer showcase “THE SELLAR / Every Day Is Auction Day,” running through September 30. Rounding out the national scene is Bertolami Fine Art with its online sale “Art and Artist Books from the Mario Padovan Library,” running through September 10.
Turning our attention to the international scene, the calendar kicks off on August 6 with Bonhams, which is wrapping up its Asian Art session in Sydney, while the online sale “Outlander: The Auction” is taking place—an event entirely dedicated to the costumes, set designs, and official memorabilia from the television series Outlander. Also on the global front, Christie’s is offering the online sale “Summer Reverie: Chinese Paintings Online,” running through August 18, alongside the “Inside Job: Christie’s New York Staff Art Show,” which runs through August 19. Finally, Sotheby’s is expanding its summer offerings with two live auctions, including the Hong Kong sale titled “Arcade Sale | Hong Kong,” running through August 6, and “The Gem Drop August ,” starting on August 10.
