In association with Art Partner, Phillips presents the first major exhibition of the dynamic artist duo Mert & Marcus. Since landing their first cover with Dazed & Confused in 1997, Mert & Marcus have had their distinctive and powerful photographs featured in such established magazines as Vogue, Interview, Vanity Fair, and W, as well as in campaigns for Christian Dior, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, and more. As part of the 20th anniversary celebration of Mert & Marcus’ collaboration, 18 works – 9 black-and-white and 9 colour – will be made available for sale for the first time. The landmark exhibition debuts at Phillips’ London headquarters in Mayfair before traveling to Paris.
