Positioning ourselves for the final quarter of 2025, September has shown a strong start after the summer. We have pulled together all the relevant happenings in the art world, news and market for this month's briefing.

What to expect in this edition:

• Warhol and Hockney drive auctions – Warhol’s The Scream (After Munch) doubled estimates at £6.6m, while Hockney’s “Pools” prints surged, confirming editioned works as the market’s safest play.

• Banksy and the headlines – from auction resilience to his Royal Courts mural (swiftly removed but valued up to £5m), Banksy continues to shape both market and media.

• Institutional spotlight sharpens – Tate Modern preps Tracey Emin’s biggest-ever show and the Serpentine announces a 2026 Hockney solo exhibition.
