‘Really encouraging’: Phillips’s modern and contemporary sale continues New York auction momentum

Phillips’s modern and contemporary evening sale on 19 November generated nearly $54.8 million ($67.3 million with fees), a 25% increase over the same sale last year. Out of 33 lots, only two failed to sell, achieving a 94% sell-through rate. The top lot was Francis Bacon’s *Study for Head of Isabel Rawsthorne and George Dyer* (1967), which hammered at $13.5 million, followed by an untitled Joan Mitchell work from 1957-58 at $12 million. The sale also included natural history objects for the first time, such as a juvenile Triceratops skeleton nicknamed 'Cera,' which sold for $4.35 million. Female artists performed strongly, with Ruth Asawa’s copper wire sculptures sparking lengthy bidding wars and Firelei Báez setting a new artist record that was later broken at Christie’s the same evening.
