In London’s Classics Week Sales, Old Masters Were Back, But Only the Best of the Best

London’s Classics Week showed a selective market where only exceptional trophy objects excelled. Many Old Master works required premiums to meet low estimates, while others remained unsold. Simultaneously, the first half of the year saw varied results for the Magnificent Seven stocks. Among the three best-performing equities in this group, only one managed to outperform the S&P 500, highlighting a divergence in growth across these high-profile financial assets and luxury art investments.
