The New Art Market Calendar: Here Is an Up-to-Date List of the Biggest Sales Events Still Planned for This Year of Upheaval

Under normal circumstances, the arrival of spring would bring
with it a wave of high-profile art-market events: Frieze Week in
New York; major spring contemporary-art auctions at Sotheby’s,
Christie’s, and Phillips; Art Basel in Switzerland. But with the
world turned upside down economically and socially, the art
business calendar has been turned inside out.

Many fairs have been cancelled outright, while those that have
the capacity to pivot to a digital platform are doing so. Others
have optimistically rescheduled IRL events for what is now an
extremely busy fall. Below, we’ve rounded up all the major art
fairs (as well as a handful of important auctions) that we can
confirm are still planning to proceed through December 2020. We’ll
update the list as additional dates are finalized or changed.
In-person events are marked by the flag of the country where they
will take place; digital events are accompanied by a computer
icon.
