China won hands down at Phillips de Pury & Co’s second Bric contemporary art sale last week, so named after the acronym for the world’s four fastest growing economies – Brazil, Russia, India and China. Vastly reduced in size from last year’s 375 lots that brought £7.1 million, last week’s 190-lot sale brought in £6.5 million, but again saw half of the lower-value lots go unsold. In spite of input from British collector Frank Cohen, India struggled with just nine out of 34 lots, selling for barely £500,000.
