Overlooking Berkeley Square, Yue Min’s Contemporary Terracotta Warriors carry out their exercises, while Duane Hanson’s young Surfer prepares to go out into the cold February weather in London.  One of the great joys of Phillips modern building is the view that it facilitates into the adjacent streets, while the other auction houses have exhibition galleries that are more traditional, interior, roof-lit spaces  Phillips, lives up to its reputation with perhaps the most contemporary and broad-based (at time irreverent) of the auctions this week of modern and contemporary art, though it does have a work by Lowry hidden, almost apologetically, round a corner.

As in Sotheby’s and Christie’s, Phillips is showing work by Alex Katz, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, KAWS and Antony Gormley, but here we have different artists such as Ian Davenport, Gilbert & George, Ai Weiwei, A R Penck, Marc Quinn and Subodh Gupta and it is fascinating to see different aspects of the work of Anish Kapoor, with his blue ‘Fold’ linking with the adjacent Yves Klein.
