Art Market: Tidbits From Spring Auctions 2026 @ Phillips New York


 
 (Drivebycuriosity) -  It`s May again and the world`s largest auction houses have their annual Spring auctions in Manhattan. The harvests weren`t as rich as in the recent years. But I could still find a lot interesting artworks. This post is about the galleries @ Phillips, the number 3 of the global auction houses ( phillips). The company has the reputation to be more focused on contemporary works than her bigger competitors and to show more cutting edge art by up-and-coming artists. But they also had some big names. I display here some of my favorites from the exhibition - as usual a very subjective selection.

 


Above my favorite: "La Route de Vétheull, effet de neige" by Claude Monet.

 


Albert Oehlen belongs also to my favorite artists. Above you can see his wall-filling "Untitled".

 


I love Emma Webster´s  atmospheric "End of the Day".

 

                          Bloody Nurse 



 

 

Above follow Julian Schnabel`s "Untitled (Chinese Painting)"; Richard Prince´s "Nurse Kelly" & "Líssue lumineuse" by Maria Helena Viera Da Silva.

 


 


 No art show without erotics: "Los Angeles No. 27 (Go Down)" by R.B. Kitaj; "Final Study for Kate Nude" by Tom Wesselmann & "Self Care" by Anna Park (charcoal on paper).

Enjoy!
