Once again, the industry presents a familiar idea as a shift. Auctions are regularly framed as exclusive events showcasing the latest trends in fashion and art. Each lot is presented with a sense of urgency, as if these objects carry unique stories or revolutionary charm. However, history tells a different tale.
