The results of the BRIC sale at Phillips in London last week were generally uneventful, with the two Rashid Rana lots bringing in nearly half of the photography proceeds. The overall Buy-In rate was nearly 40% and the Total Sale Proceeds for photography came in just under the low end of the estimate range. With no positive surprises, there were no individual outcomes really worth mentioning, and thus no accompanying images for this results review.
