Next week, Phillips de Pury will launch a new series of themed auctions of contemporary art and culture with NOW: Art of the 21st Century. The Sept. 26 sale promises to deliver some of “the most exciting contemporary works of art, design and photography to be made since the Millenium and that will come to define our current epoch,” and replaces the former Saturday at Phillips auctions, which were eliminated from the Phillips calendar this past year.
