Spread ArtCulture #4

Spread ArtCulture #4 recently hit newsstands and is worth picking up. While the issue’s cover story features Pharrell Williams, several other articles will be of interest to art enthusiasts, including a look at Deitch Director, Kathy Grayson, an intimate view of Robert Longo’s studio (shot by The Selby), interviews with Marilyn Minter and Steve Lazarides, and pictorials from several notable photographers including David Eustace and Ruud Baan.
For us, the most significant is Spread’s look at the cutting edge practices of Phillips de Pury’s contemporary art team and their Saturday@Phillips auctions. Unfortunately, by the time of the magazine’s publication (and to the dismay of us here at TAC) Phillips had already announced restructuring of its auctions and the elimination of the weekend sales which had grown increasingly popular with young and seasoned collectors alike.

I thought the new Phillip’s ‘Theme’ auctions would be in addition to Saturday’s @Phillip’s. But in re-looking at your link to the Press Release, I see clearly ‘Cut’ appears in the headline, but not in Phillip’s release.
This sucks! Saturday’s @Phillip’s had become my favorite auctions.
