Season of Settling In • As auction houses returned to their pre-pandemic seasonal lineups, they also faced cooler winds as buyers and sellers alike readjusted their expectations for the coming year. Sales in New York and Hong Kong displayed consistent demand but less superheated competition for many top lots.

True Optimism • Money flows where the optimism goes. Eager to return to pre-pandemic scales—both physically and financially—fairs in the Asia-Pacific region introduced local talent to international visitors who returned for the first time in three years. In Dubai, a destination to skirt financial sanctions in Europe, people wondered if art sales were impacted by the Russia-Ukraine War.
