PHILLIPS de PURY & COMPANY

Founded in 1796, Phillips de Pury & Company is one of

the world’s leading art companies and a vital force in

today’s art world. Through its innovative exhibitions and

auctions, Phillips de Pury has established itself as a

tastemaker in contemporary art, design, photographs,

printed editions and jewelry. The company has offices

and representatives in twelve cities on three continents,

and is renowned for its beautiful and lavish catalogues,

dynamic architectural exhibition spaces, popular events

and record-breaking sales.

Led by Simon de Pury, a key figure in the art market and

one of the world’s most talented auctioneers, Phillips de

Pury formed a strategic partnership with Mercury Group

in 2008. Mercury, the leading retail luxury company in

Russia, acquired majority control of the company and

has made a significant investment in the firm to better

position Phillips de Pury to compete and take advantage

of exciting opportunities in the current art market.

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.

The Editions department at Phillips de Pury & Company offers prints and objects produced in an

edition and spanning the 20th through 21st centuries. Twice a year, modern and contemporary

printmakers come together in one integrated catalogue. Particular attention is paid to 20th-century

modern masters, and to the important artists currently creating today’s relevant graphic works of

art. The department’s approach is based on an appreciation of collectors’ different needs to cross

various boundaries between artists, time periods and styles. The department also handles private

sales, collecting advice and various kinds of appraisals.

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.

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.

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. The sale will reflect this range and

could include work like the sculpture of Yinka Shonibare, the rococo portraits of Kehinde Wiley, the

totems of Pascale Marthine Tayou, and many others.

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.

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.
