Phillips Moves Contemporary Evening Sale to Thursday Night

April 24, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Eileen Kinsella reports that Phillips has pushed its Contemporary Evening sale back to Thursday May 15th in light of the stiff competition from Loic Gouzer’s sale at Christie’s also scheduled for Phillips’ original time slot on Monday night.

Longtime auction goers will remember that Phillips moved from Thursday nights to Monday to gain access to collectors in a fresher state of mind. Kinsella comments on the whole affair:

Said one art adviser of the reshuffle: “It shows ruthless aggression to gain market share.”
