The auction results of the last few years have confirmed it: dinosaurs are in fashion. And not as prehistoric tools or tools of scientific investigation, but as symbols of the absence of times and tastes. More and more skeletons are treated as an investment – something that is, in some cases, in other cases, emotional and symbolic intelligence than modern art in which they can share an action block. Is Jurassic Park coming back? Or maybe most of us are attracted to dinosaurs in childhood? In any case, as Nostalgia rises to drive the purchase decisions of all market coodingles, the dinos are undoubtedly removed by the wave.
Phillips has been strategic in this understated thanks to the experts in their positions. Instead of competing head-to-head with the likes of Stotheby and Christie’s Worner Narratives, the house relies on a different sales and marketing team, leveraging the symbolic power of art rather than collected fiction.

People are looking for things that bring surprises,” he said. “This result underscores the appetite for rare and unusual pieces that challenge convention and expand the boundaries of what a collection can be.”
