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.”

SAG HARBOR

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK

September 6 – September 12, 1926

George Sterling, native of Sag Harbor, and world-renowned poet, was gaining high praise for his latest poetic drama, "Lilith." Theodore Dreiser ranked Mr. Sterling with Euripides, Aeschylus, Shakespeare, and Shelley. A Metropolitan reviewer also stated, "in truth 'Lilith' is nobly conceived and executed, for the most part with rare poetic ingenuity. Not to read it will be to miss quite the finest thing in poetic drama yet done in America and one of the finest poetic dramas yet written in English."


Eight pieces of jewelry valued at $23,000, stolen by a sneak thief from the James T. Lee cottage at East Hampton on July 23, were recovered from proprietors of a New York jewelry store, where detectives and police seized what they claimed to be $100,000 worth of stolen jewelry.


Henry H. Rogers, the oil magnate, who had recently bought all of Cow Neck, was reportedly negotiating to purchase North Sea bathing pavilion.


Following the close of the Joseph Fahys & Co. Twilight Baseball League season, the Terrors celebrated their victory as champions of the league by attending a spaghetti supper at the home of Paul Ranalli, the hard-hitting right fielder. If gossip can be depended upon, as well as being champion ball players the team could more than hold their own bending spaghetti around a fork. The invited guests included the managing officials of Joseph Fahys & Co. as well as the captains of the various unsuccessful teams.

Huntington Arts Councile . Call to Student Artists Dedaline for submission September 22, 226, see details below.

Grades 6-12 eligible to submit work for ~Nightmare on Main St.~  

A Prosperous Home By Gina Ienopoli

Call to Student Artists

Grades 6 -12

Nightmare on Main Street

Juried by Gina Ienopoli


DEADLINE: September 22, 2026


Exhibition Dates

October 27 – November 15, 2026

Nightmare on Main Street is the Huntington Arts Councils annual exhibit for student artists in grades 6-12. Students from any school district are welcome to submit work. This year our juror is Gina Ienopoli. Students are encouraged to use her works and the following statement to inspire their own works. 


"Folklore from various cultures shares captivating stories during gatherings or at bedtime, passing down moral lessons to each generation. Native Filipinos tell tales of mythical beings such as the Tiyanak, a deceptive shape-shifting creature who mimics a crying baby to entice compassionate individuals deeper into the jungle, and the Diwata, beautiful guardian spirits of forests and mountains who can either bless or curse someone based on their treatment of nature.


The Tikyanak stories warn against rashness and emphasize the dangers of the unknown, while the Diwata stories advocate respect towards the Earth and one's environment. In your own world or using your own culture, create a mythical creature that inhabits its own environment and convey a backstory that imparts a lesson, incorporating visual elements to explain this throughout your work."
