Slim Phillips London Sale Totals $13.9 Million, Off 32 Percent From 2024

Phillips London's evening sale of Modern and contemporary art on Thursday totaled £10.3 million ($13.9 million), a 32 percent drop from the equivalent sale in 2024. The 45-minute auction saw 4 of 26 lots withdrawn before bidding, and 4 of the remaining 22 failed to sell, including works by Banksy, Andreas Gursky, Sigmar Polke, and Andy Warhol. The top lot was Jean-Michel Basquiat's *Untitled (Pestus)* (1982), which sold for £2.37 million ($3.19 million), just below its estimate. A new auction record was set for Emma McIntyre, whose painting *Seven types of ambiguity* (2021) more than doubled its high estimate to fetch £167,700 ($225,355).
