Tamila Kerimova, Head of 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, said, “Building on our success in March in London and May in New York, the total of £10.76 million marks the highest result for a Day Sale hosted by Phillips London. Notable prices were achieved for KAWS, Banksy and Robert Longo. Fuelled by strong Asian bidding, Phillips continues to dominate the market for KAWS, and now holds the top five results for the artist. A series of records were established throughout the auction, including new world records for Lesley Vance and Pietro Consagra.”
