Phillips seems to have dropped the ball on the photo consignments for its upcoming Contemporary Art Evening and Day sales in London. With no photography lots in the Evening sale and a thin sampling in the Day sale, there’s almost too little to merit a report. Overall, there are a total of 17 lots of photography available across the two sales, with a Total High Estimate for photography of £368000.
Here’s the statistical breakdown:
Preview Statistics | |
---|---|
Total Low Lots (high estimate up to and including £5000) | 0 |

Total Mid Estimate | £193000 |
