The Editions department at Phillips de Pury & Company offers prints and objects produced in an edition spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. Modern and Contemporary printmakers come together under one artistically integrated catalogue several times a year. Our sophisticated curation of many different styles of works are cogently marketed through our dynamic and scholarly catalogue presentation.

In addition, what sets us apart from other international auction houses’ print departments is our pre-sale exhibitions. Phillips de Pury & Company's commitment to the Editions department is reflected in the industry-leading gallery space available for our previews. Each work is given sufficient wall space in a manner designed to showcase its intrinsic beauty and importance, a fact that has been widely commended by the print collecting community.

Ultimately, the Editions Department's superior ability orchestrating these sales and cultivating new collectors is unparalleled in the field.

In 2010, we realized the highest sold totals since the department's inception in 2008, establishing a number of record prices for artists and specific images in each sale. We also sold 100% of works in the Estate of Mrs. Harry N. Abrams and Dreier LLP collections. Our exceptional results included prints and multiples by such artists as Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Jasper Johns, Bruce Nauman, Roy Lichtenstein, Henri Matisse, Cy Twombly, Ed Ruscha, David Hockney, Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, Alberto Giacometti, and Marcel Duchamp, among many others.

Most recently, in the spring of 2011 Phillips de Pury & Company inaugurated Evening Editions auctions. These sales, held twice a year, offer a more selective group of editions, featuring the best examples available in the context of an exclusive "Evening Sale" in our galleries on Park Avenue.
