EDITIONS: PHILLIPS Auction of Mid and Late 20th Century Art

reporter: Miguel Dominguez

EDITIONS was the tittle of the auction that took place on October 28th, with a preview reception on the 26th at Phillips.

It was an astounding display of the best of mid and late 20th century art. Being there was actually more exciting than being at the MoMA. Basquiat, Indiana, Warhol, Wesselmann, Picasso, Magritte, Miró, Lichtestein, Rauschenberg, Hockney, Stella, the list of impressive signatures on the art being auctioned boggled the mind.

The following is the visual record of a cave of treasures.
