Rebekah Bowling and John McCord, Co-Heads of Phillips’ Day Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, said, “Demand was clear for exceptional works across the board in our Day Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, continuing the momentum from the Evening Sale, in which both emerging names and blue chip mainstays drew tremendous competition. Artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Günther Förg are featured prominently in the Top Ten, alongside KAWS and Flora Yukhnovich, whose Pretty Little Thing set a new record for the artist at $1,179,500. Records were set for 21 artists in the sale, including Kehinde Wiley, Katherine Bernhardt, and Jennifer Guidi. Phillips is also proud to have introduced several artists to auction for the first time, such as Rebecca Ness, Felipe Baeza, and Soimadou Ali Ibrahim. It’s wonderful to end the season in New York on such a high note and we look forward to the New Now sale in London on 13 July.”
