Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Bonhams call off June auctions during traditional ‘Russian Art Week’
The auction houses Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Bonhams have cancelled sales of Russian art in London in June, part of the art market’s response to western sanctions on Russia as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine.
The auction houses hold sales of Russian art in June and November in periods known as “Russian Art Week”, which attract wealthy Russian buyers.
