Bridget Riley, Julie Mehretu and Yoshitomo Nara anchored Phillips’s Editions Evening Sale, prints priced at a fraction of the artists’ unique work, at 30 Berkeley Square.
Phillips Berkeley Square in Mayfair held its Editions Evening Sale on Thursday 17 September 2026, with Bridget Riley, Julie Mehretu and Yoshitomo Nara leading 67 lots of prints and multiples.
Harry Phillips opened his rooms in Westminster in 1796, having trained as Christie’s head clerk. Within a decade he had sold both Beau Brummell’s effects and Marie Antoinette’s own collection.
Ownership passed to Bernard Arnault in 1999, to Simon de Pury in 2002 and to the Mercury Group in 2008. Each change narrowed the house further onto twentieth and twenty-first century material, and in 2026 it marked its 230th anniversary.
Editions are prints and multiples made in numbered runs by the same artists whose unique works lead the evening sales. A single sheet can carry a major name at a fraction of a canvas’s price.
Riley’s Fête was estimated at £10,000 to £15,000, Mehretu’s Corner of Lake and Minnehaha (Smoke) at £12,000 to £18,000, and Nara’s Country Home at £20,000 to £30,000.
The sale opened on a run of Andy Warhol, whose Mickey Mouse, from Myths, sold for £193,500. Roy Lichtenstein’s Reflections on Crash made £154,800. The house’s Modernism sale ran in the same building that afternoon.
