from the chairman

It is in times of economic change that creativity and innovation are more necessary than ever. Even during the height of the market over a year ago, we realized that whenever we held special theme sales, we were not only generating extra interest, but also gaining incremental business. So when the flow of consignments began to slow down, because it was seen to be a bad time to sell, we decided to add 18 new theme sales in addition to our regular schedule of sales. This strategy has already begun to bear fruits with four successful sales in the fall of 2009 – NOW, LATIN AMERICA, MUSIC and NEW YORK NEW YORK. During 2010, we will hold fourteen further theme sales, including AFRICA, SEX, JAPAN and FILM. These will act as a complement to our core sales of Contemporary Art, Design, Photography and Editions. For the past ten years we have established ourselves as the premier company for showcasing contemporary art, design and photography and have become the undisputed market leaders in cutting-edge art. Already known for producing the most beautiful catalogs in the industry, we have decided to push the envelope even further, by creating a new, even larger catalog. This allows us to show the artworks that are entrusted to us in their best possible light and to add editorial contents that places them in a wider context. It was at Phillips de Pury that during the past ten years, world record prices were established for artists as varied as Marcel Duchamp, Francis Bacon, Donald Judd, Agnes Martin, Ed Ruscha, Damien Hirst, Richard Prince, the Kabakovs, Takashi Murakami, Mark Bradford and many others. Records were also broken in our rooms for works by designers such as Ron Arad, Marc Newson, Ross Lovegrove and Zaha Hadid. We continue to achieve strong results for great photographers such as Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, and have set auction records for Idris Khan, Edward Burtynsky and Mario Testino among many others. Now, more than ever, Phillips de Pury & Company is the place where you can buy tomorrow’s blue chips today! This brochure is designed to give our clients the fullest information on our exciting auction program for 2010.

NOW will offer contemporary art, design, photography, and editions made since 2000. In the years following the millennium, the world of contemporary art has seen a rapid expansion of work drawing upon an increasingly wide variety of sources, disciplines and materials. From the paintings of George Condo and the photographs of Cindy Sherman, to the sculpture of Rachel Harrison and the multiples of Alex Katz, the foundations of 21st-century art are being laid today. For the NOW sale, we are looking for artworks that represent this rich body of work and that, together, will play a significant role in defining this new identity.

sex march 2010 london

Phillips de Pury’s SEX auction will take the debate about the interplay of contemporary art and sexuality a step further in presenting works that challenge our concepts of gender, sexual imagery and desirability. This is an area which will be explored in all disciplines – in painting, printmaking, photography and sculpture – and through the varied ways in which artists today, whose work we are seeking for this auction, approach these issues: in the work of Thomas Ruff, for example, whose Nudes series of photographs both set up and undercut our expectations in viewing pornography; or in Richard Prince’s fetishized and eroticized appropriations of the Western cowboy, Diane Arbus’ portraits of the sexually marginalized, and the bold and sumptuous Pop nudes of Mel Ramos and Tom Wesselmann that simultaneously attract and overwhelm one’s gaze.

bric april 2010 london

While normally used as a financial term referring to the rapidly expanding economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, the acronym BRIC refers here to the burgeoning contemporary art practices within these four countries. The work we are looking to consign to the BRIC sale will bring them together at auction for the first time, and will feature some of the most inventive and collected contemporary artists, designers and photographers working today, such as Beatriz Milhazes from Brazil, Anish Kapoor of India, the Kabakovs from Russia, and Zeng Fanzhi of China. In the common ground between them, as well as in their diversity, the works to be consigned to BRIC will form a portrait of the increasingly global future of contemporary art. And for the first time both the viewing and sale will take place at the Saatchi Gallery, attracting both new visitors and a greater visibility of the work.

The AFRICA theme sale is defined by the distinct body of works, drawn from contemporary art, design, editions and photography, which relate to Africa either in origin or influence. Crossing boundaries between disciplines and media, this work is known for its exuberance, its political commitment and its inventiveness, from the hugely successful metal tapestries of El Anatsui to the documentary photographs of South Africa by David Goldblatt.

80s J une 2010 new york

Art of the 1980s was characterized by irony, appropriation, expressionism, neo-expressionism and figurative art. It was also the decade in which the inventiveness and playfulness of Postmodernism energized the visual arts, design and architecture. Today, the work of that time is much sought after, and this sale aims to showcase the best of it in a careful selection of visual art, design, photographs, and editions, including work by some of the great protagonists of that time, such as Eric Fischl, David Salle and Julian Schnabel, as well as artists like Jack Goldstein whose careers flourished during this period.

black & white september 2010 london

In September 2010, Phillips de Pury will gather a carefully selected group of works under the theme of BLACK & WHITE. Black and white compositions, and black or white monochrome works by leading artists are all sought for this auction. These may include pieces by those artists, photographers and designers often inspired to work with a reduced chromatic palette – artists such as Robert Longo, Amanda Levete, Kara Walker and Bernd & Hilla Becher. BLACK & WHITE will also present works by artists who, using seemingly reduced forms, challenge the notion of simplicity and produce works that reveal themselves not to be as ‘black & white’ as they might appear. Robert Morris, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Imi Knoebel and John McCracken are good examples of artists whose use of minimal forms produce complex dialogues, and whose works may also be considered for inclusion in this auction.

The Sensation exhibition, which opened in London in 1997 before touring to Berlin and New York, famously introduced onto the international scene a new generation of artists, known as the Young British Artists, or YBAs, including Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas, among others. London came to be seen as the new and radical artistic centre. Since then, contemporary art in Britain has flourished as never before, with a huge variety of work being done in diverse media, such as in the conceptual work of Keith Tyson, the large and complex photographs of Idris Khan and the radical sculptures of Rachel Whiteread. Collecting art, too, has increased in popularity at all levels during this time. NOW in London will seek to reflect this richness of British art being produced and collected today.
