LONDON.- Phillips announced that the London Evening & Day Editions auction in January 2024 will be led by an exceptional group of works from the Archive of Edition Schellmann, sold to benefit the ars publicata project. Collaborating with some of the most significant artists of the 20th century, Jörg Schellmann has produced the most challenging and iconic editions through Schellmann Art. Founded by Jörg, Nanke and Pauline Schellmann, the ars publicata project is an online compendium of contemporary fine art editions, documenting the edition oeuvres of the world’s most significant contemporary artists. The Evening & Day Editions auction comprises 40 works from the Archive of Edition Schellmann, including very rare examples and unique colour variants ranging from £800 to £150,000. The auction preview opens in Phillips’ galleries at Berkeley Square from 11 January until the auction on 17 and 18 January.

Anne Schneider-Wilson, Senior International Specialist, Editions, said, “We are thrilled to announce that our auction in January 2024 will showcase pieces from the Archive of Edition Schellmann, with proceeds dedicated to supporting the ars publicata project. This auction will highlight artworks by renowned artists such as Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, and Donald Judd. Demonstrating Schellmann's dedication to pushing the boundaries of edition-making, this collaborative sale follows a highly successful standalone auction in 2019, where our partnership with Edition Schellmann exceeded expectations, achieving £3,177,938—well beyond the pre-sale high estimate. We are privileged to once again have the opportunity to auction works from the Archive of Edition Schellmann, contributing to the important and pioneering initiatives of ars publicata. We look forward to presenting these exceptional works during our Evening & Day Editions preview and auction in January.”
