Phillips Presents HEATWAVE
A New Online Sale of Contemporary Art, Design,
Photographs and Editions
Launching in London this July
LONDON
- 17 JULY 2019 – Phillips is pleased to announce HEATWAVE,
an online-only auction of modern and contemporary artworks, design, editions,
and photographs to be held on the company’s own platform this July. Launching
from London, HEATWAVE marks another step forward as Phillips continues to
invest in digital initiatives that expand buying opportunities for the growing
number of new and existing clients who bid online. HEATWAVE comprises a curated selection of 62 lots
and includes established artists and designers such as Wolfgang Tillmans,
Arne Jacobsen, George Condo, and David Hockney, as well as cutting-edge
contemporary artists such as Tala Madani, KAWS, Eddie Martinez, Nicolas Party, Toyin
Ojih Odutola, Jack McConville, and Mary Ramsden. HEATWAVE will be live and on
view from 17 to 26 July.
Leading
HEATWAVE is Tala Madani’s The Bubble. Painted in 2012, The
Bubble demonstrates Madani’s distinctive brushwork, as well as the artist’s
ironic sense of humour. Following two world auction records achieved for the
artist in the last year, Phillips is pleased to once more bring Nicolas Party’s
work to auction with Three Trees. Another
highlight of the sale is Katherine Bradford’s Wader Boys, 2016. This painting comes up for auction in the wake of
Legs and Stripes at Campoli Presti,
the artist’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Wolfgang Tillmans’ 1998
photograph, titled Mohn, is an exquisite still life from an artist at the
height of his career and follows Tillmans’ recent retrospectives at the Tate and
Fondation Beyeler, alongside a current exhibition of his new work at Maureen
Paley, London.
HEATWAVE
crosses multiple genres and medias, including works of design from the
collection of Terry Ellis and Keiko Kitamura. Buyers for Tokyo-based label
BEAMS fennica, Ellis and Kitamura have established a curated collection fusing mid-century
modernism and classic Scandinavian design with traditional Japanese folk craft.
A leading example is a Prototype cabinet by Yanagi, produced for the Saison
exhibition.
Artworks
and design pieces from the auction will be exhibited at our Berkeley Square
galleries until 26 July.
Auction: 17 - 26 July 2019
