But, until then, at least the auction houses will try to go about their usual business and - let's be honest - that also works, even if we are sad not to be able to personally inspect the precious items on offer.
But, let's be patient, nothing else will help. Hence our thanks today to RM Sotheby's, who entertain us and hopefully find buyers for their lots, even if there are fewer than usual due to the pandemic.
Here are the lots for the Arizona auction, of course accompanied by a slide show with pictures that RM Sotheby's kindly provided.
