THE SOMME

Three moments define our year. Two precise online releases; one private Evening — a large, invitation-controlled program where the room—and what happens in it—matters most.

Invitation for SOMME Q4 2025 is closed.

Our annual cycle opens in Q4 and culminates by Q3.

AUCTION II
THE EVENING
AUCTION I

Auction I — Online

Tightly edited catalog • Transparent windows • Immediate settlement

Curated lots; visible countdown; clean close.
  • Catalogue: concise, provenance-verified.
  • Viewing: global, time-boxed bidding windows.
  • Outcome: rapid clear; selective private placements.

Auction II — Online

Focused categories • Crossovers to private sale • Curatorial rhythm

Category precision; bridges to discreet placements.
  • Depth over breadth; fewer lots, stronger thesis.
  • Private-sale crossovers surfaced from bidding intent.
  • Momentum sets the stage for the Evening.

The Evening — In-Person

Large, invitation-controlled event • White-glove previews • Room-level curation

More than a sale: a flagship evening with the auction, private placements, and programmed moments reserved for confirmed guests.
  • Attendance by invitation; scale is significant, access is controlled.
  • Conversation drives bidding; placement over spectacle.
  • Program details are shared privately with confirmed guests.
