Phillips May Sale Preview: Basquiat's Devil, Calder's Snow Flurry, Kusama's Infinity Net

Phillips Auction house has a reputation for creating markets for artists who don’t have a track record. Over the last several years, the house has grown rapidly to become a venue for a range of works including some of the biggest lots of the season. In this podcast, we’ll talk to Phillips Basquiat expert Scott Nussbaum about the massive Jean-Michel Basquiat painting Phillips will be auctioning for Yusaku Maezawa. We’ll also hear from Deputy Chairman Robert Manley about a rare Calder mobile, an early Yayoi Kusama painting, a much in demand Helen Frankenthaler, and a bright red-and-yellow Rothko, as well as works by Hans Hoffmann and Carmen Herrera. It wouldn’t be Phillips if we didn’t also speak to Rebekah Bowling about the auction debut of Justin Caguiat, the largest work to come to market by Colombian artist Maria Berrio and another rare Amy Sherald painting. The sale takes place in New York on May 18th at 7pm.
