Three years ago, after a career at Christie's and as a private advisor, Hugues Joffre took over the task of establishing a Modern art department within Phillips, auction house noted for its expertise in cutting edge artists. In this podcast, Joffre talks about the process of winning the kinds of 20th Century consignments that would help drive Phillips' sales totals higher and position the auction house as a peer and alternative to Sotheby's and Christie's not only in Contemporary art but also in the art of the 20th Century. Along the way, Joffre comments on the way young collectors develop and broaden their tastes, the future of the art market and the taste of the great Greek shipping collectors of the 60s and 70s.
