As the leaves begin to turn, so too does the spotlight—toward provenance, rarity, and narrative. October’s auctions offer more than market opportunity; they provide windows into culture, craftsmanship, and collector identity. Whether you’re bidding or simply observing, the breadth of this month’s activity is a reminder: in a world of instant everything, the thrill of a live sale, a sealed bid, or an unexpected find remains as magnetic as ever. We’ll be watching every lot—because at WAX, we don’t just insure the moment after… we understand the moment before.
