The programme spans three sales across the house's live and online platforms, opening with the Modernism and the Editions & Works on Paper Evening Sale on October 22. A second live session follows on October 24, featuring works from the personal collection of celebrated gallerist Vivian Horan. The season then closes with an online sale of 109 no-reserve lots, open for bidding from October 20 through 28. Public viewing at 432 Park Avenue runs from October 15 to 23. The announced highlights range from Salvador Dali's surrealist chess set and masterworks by Giorgio Morandi to a wide selection of Andy Warhol editions, alongside works by Pablo Picasso, Yayoi Kusama and David Hockney. The house also flags works by Victor Brauner, Yves Tanguy, Man Ray, Roy Lichtenstein, Hank Willis Thomas and Pat Steir. Phillips executives framed the series as a showcase of the depth and range of the prints category, from rare surrealist material and modernist prints to post-war and contemporary editions, pointing to continued enthusiasm from collectors worldwide. The announcement credited the house's September sales in London for setting a positive tone, and positioned the three New York auctions as reflecting the medium's enduring appeal across collecting generations.
