John McCord and Rebekah Bowling, Co-Heads of Phillips’ Day Sale, New York, said, “The momentum from last night’s Evening Sale – the most successful auction in Phillips’ history – continued straight on into the Day Sales, as we brought forward an exciting selection of works by some of the most significant names in the art historical canon of the 20th and 21st century. After just setting a new auction record for him yesterday, works by Raymond Pettibon led the Day Sale, cementing the current strength of his market. Stanley Whitney’s Stay Song 21 also saw fierce competition, pushing the 2018 painting to sell for $693,000, over 8 times its low estimate. 18 artists records were set, including those for Anne Truitt, Bernar Venet, Ron Gorchov, and Sarah Crowner, and we were delighted to uphold our reputation for debuting new artists to the secondary market to great acclaim, as works by Jerrell Gibbs, Tyler Ballon, and Ben Sledsens all soared past their estimates. Today’s sale now brings our weekly total to $172.5 million, a new record for a week of 20th Century & Contemporary Art sales at Phillips.”
