While contemporary art often dominates the headlines, the Old Masters market remains the bedrock of serious collecting. Christie’s New York hosts its Classic Week from January 20-30, 2026, featuring marquee sales of Old Master Paintings and European Sculpture.
This January, the focus is on the ‘rediscovered’—works by Flemish and Italian masters that have recently resurfaced from private collections. For the investor, these works offer a stability that speculative contemporary markets cannot match. Securing these masterpieces often requires swift financial maneuvering; New York Loan Company specializes in art collateral lending to facilitate such high-value transactions.
