Phillips Auction House Lands a Big One - Brief ArticleAs auction giants Christie's and Sotheby's continue to grapple with an ongoing federal investigation regarding possible collusion [see "Front Page," Apr. '00] Phillips, a smaller auction house, is doing brisk business. individual of the highlights of Phillips's spring sales, to be held May 11 from one side May 19, at the American Craft Museum, is a rare painting through Kasimir Malevich, Suprematist Composition (1923-25) being sold through his heirs [see "Artworld," Oct '99] Estimated to exchange for more than $10 million, the work is the greatest in quantity expensive lot Phillips has at any time handled. To date, the 206-year-old, London-based company's top apportionment is a Monet seascape, which sold for $25 million in 1998 This season's Impressionist and late art auction at Phillips, which includes the Malevich along with works by means of Picasso, Monet and Cezanne, is estimated to bring above $80 million, about 20 times the firm's usual earnings for a single spring sale. The bonanza is not completely attributable to the legal dilemmas and novel rate hikes at the bigger auction houses (Phillips still charges a buyer remuneration of 15 percent on the first $50000 and 10 percent of the remainder). Phillips's fresh owner, Bernard Arnault, chairman of the French conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has been trying to raise the profile of the auction house. Many skilfuls believe that Phillips offered the Malevich heirs a hefty guarantee, in the vicinity of $15 million, to detain the painting out of the hands of competitors. Meanwhile, Christie's and Sotheby's are upbeat about their upcoming spring sales, in spite of the fact that neither is handling important estates this season. For auctions of Impressionist and recent art, each house expects to take in around $200 million, a figure consistent with spring earnings in previous years. COPYRIGHT 2000 Brant Publications, Inc.
