REFRESH:RELOAD is Phillips' first all-category online auction, put together by its Asian team, features a mix of collectables categories: contemporary art, watches and jewelry. A program that reflects the rapidly changing landscape of our age. We live in unprecedented times and disruption presents an opportunity to reimagine what is normal – an opportunity to opt for a “soft refresh” or “hard reload”.
The auction is well illustrated by the image on the cover, where the objects are "contaminated" by others:

“This year's spring global calendar is made up entirely of online-only sales and we've already seen strong participation,” said Delissa Handoko, online sales manager, Hong Kong, Phillips. “At Phillips we have also seen a great deal of cross-category collecting, and as collectors' tastes continue to evolve globally, we are thrilled to present this online-only sale. Curated in two complementary parts: “REFRESH” embodies a more romantic and lighthearted aesthetic, blending colorful and fun contemporary artwork with elegant jewelry and watches. The second part of the sale, “RELOAD,” will see cutting-edge jewelry and watches offered alongside fresh and on-trend artwork, editions and collectibles. “
The sale includes 180 lots and selected highlights will be displayed in the Hong Kong Gallery at Phillips (by appointment only). Bidding will open on May 20 at 17:00pm HKT and start closing on May 28 at 22:00pm HKT. The entire sale will be available on Phillips.com.
