PHILLIPS’ FIFTH ANNUAL DAVID HOCKNEY AUCTION OPENS THE AUTUMN SEASON
Alongside the Editions Evening and Online Sales, and London’s First Dedicated Modernism Sale
LONDON – 24 AUGUST 2026 – Phillips is pleased to present highlights from the David Hockney, Modernism and Editions Evening and Online auctions in London this Autumn. On 19 September, Phillips will present its fifth annual auction dedicated exclusively to David Hockney. The auction will bring together a selection of important works spanning Hockney’s remarkable career, offering collectors an opportunity to engage with the vision of one of Britain’s most influential and enduring artistic voices. On 17 September, Phillips will debut its first standalone Modernism auction, bringing together editions by masters including Pablo Picasso, Joan MirĂ³ and Marc Chagall. The Editions Evening Sale follows, presenting works spanning the 20th and 21st centuries by key figures including Andy Warhol, Banksy, Jonas Wood, Gerhard Richter and Robert Indiana. The Editions Online Sale will run from 3 to 22 September, offering a range of sought-after works at accessible price points.
“Our Hockney auctions have proven to be unparalleled in their ability to connect collectors with some of the artist’s most significant and inventive works,” said Robert Kennan, Head of Editions, Europe. “Following the passing of David Hockney, this year’s auction carries a profound significance as we reflect on the extraordinary legacy of one of Britain’s most celebrated artists. With a remarkable sell-through rate of 95% across our past four sales, 73 world auction records achieved, and a growing base of younger collectors engaging with Hockney’s work, Phillips has become a leading destination for the artist at auction. We are honoured to present this important sale and a selection that celebrates Hockney’s exceptional contribution to the history of art, alongside our inaugural Modernism sale and Editions Evening Sale. We look forward to unveiling the preview to the public on 11 September.”
