HONG KONG – 10 SEPTEMBER 2018 – Phillips, the auction
house dedicated to modern and contemporary art, are pleased to announce the
inaugural Day Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art and Design in Hong
Kong as part of its autumn auction season. The Day Sale will take place
on 26 November 2018 at the Mandarin Oriental, featuring approximately 100 items
comprised of editions, photography, and Danish and Italian design pieces.
“The Hong Kong Day
Sale was added to our calendar following the strong results achieved from our
Spring 2018 sales, which grossed Phillips’ highest ever total in Asia. The Day
Sale will support the vibrant art market in Asia, where record prices continue
to be achieved for exceptional artworks,
as well as appeal to the growing number of younger Asian buyers that are starting to build collections,” said
Jonathan Crockett, Deputy Chairman
and Head of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, Asia. “Phillips’
curated approach of offering both Asian and Western artworks alongside
photography and design pieces presents a refreshing, holistic experience for
buyers interested in 20th and 21st century works and sets our sales apart from
others.”
This sale aims to
meet the varied and sophisticated tastes of buyers across Asia, with the array
of sale categories appealing to both established and new clients. It will build
on the expertise of Phillips evening sales by offering lots that are accessible
to new and younger Asian buyers who are seeking unique works by 20th century artists.
The interest in artists and designers that straddle the cultures of Asia,
Europe and the Americas has never been stronger, forming an important
cross-geographical dialogue in art history.
Phillips’ inaugural
evening sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design took place in
Hong Kong in November 2016. The company’s strategy of offering Asian and
Western artworks in a smaller auction format has been well received by collectors
who increasingly buy across different categories. The 20th Century &
Contemporary Art & Design sale on 27 May 2018, for example, realised a
record result for a Phillips Hong Kong sale at HK$233.6 million (US$29.8
million), demonstrating Phillips’ rapid and healthy growth in Asia.
