The early London season ends with Phillips De Pury and its Contemporary Art Evening and Day sales in February. Unlike Sotheby’s and Christie’s, who have both seen increases in photography consignment activity over the same sales last year, Phillips has seen a drop in both total photo lots for sale and in total estimated value on the block. There are 27 photography lots on offer across the two auctions, with a Total High Estimate of £1097000. The Cindy Sherman history portrait in the Evening sale is the standout photo lot.
