While many assume the art market takes a long summer break after June’s major sales, the truth is far more dynamic. Summer brings blockbuster museum exhibitions, key regional fairs, and steady private sales — making it an ideal season for strategic collecting.

In our latest Quarterly Update, President of The Americas Anita Heriot shares why July and August are the perfect time to get your “art ducks in a row.” With a calmer pace and more opportunities for travel, collectors can explore new categories, conduct collection audits, and prepare for the fast-paced fall season of mega auctions, global fairs, and major exhibitions.

Summer, Anita notes, isn’t just for buying — it’s for thinking strategically, exploring fresh categories, and positioning your collection for the year ahead.
