Phillips Frieze Evening = £14.8m ($23.6m)

October 16, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Phillips Frieze 14 Eve Sale
Last night’s sale at Phillips was pretty much business as usual for the auction house even within the new setting of their grand HQ building.

Auctioneer Alexander Gilkes moved the merchandise at prices below the estimate range, signaling his intent with the stilted, “I can honor your bid.” That move kept the sell-through rate to 80% and brought in a decent £14,862,500 / $23,631,375
