Phillips is owned by Mercury Group, which is Russia’s largest luxury-goods company. It was founded in 1993 by Russian entrepreneurs Leonid Fridlyand and Leonid Strunin, who are reportedly close to Putin """"
""" Hall, whose collection of more than 5,000 pieces includes noted works by Ed Ruscha, Barbara Kruger and Julian Schnabel, told The Post he bought something from Christie’s – another competing auction house – on Wednesday, but wouldn’t buy from Phillips.
Girling, the former Bonham’s CEO, said that “only a boycott” would get the attention of the owners of Mercury to hopefully influence Putin to change his current chosen course of action.”

"""" Meanwhile, Hall said that even if people didn’t want to boycott Phillips for moral reasons, practical reasons should stop people from placing bids: the risk is that Phillips’ accounts could be frozen and consignors find they don’t see their sales proceeds.
“Phillips runs a good operation, but so did German companies during WWII who were intimately involved with the Nazis,” Hall wrote on his Instagram account. “Will art buyers … show solidarity with Ukraine or will the art world display its usual hypocrisy?” """

Thanks This auction is offering a large amount of works created by living artists that many collectors covet, but have been denied access to on the primary market. This is finally an opportunity to bid on artworks by what many experts consider the unicorns of the art world.
Which artists are you referring to? Thanks This auction is offering a large amount of works created by living artists that many collectors covet, but have been denied access to on the primary market. This is finally an opportunity to bid on artworks by what many experts consider the unicorns of the art world. Yes, the artists mentioned are some of the hottest at the moment, but the works are older and far inferior to today's works. These results should not be any indication of "current" market value for many of them (Bas, Gomez, Ness, Gribbon, Chapline, Park, Slappey, Nava etc...). |

This is not about Russian-owned/Russian-related companies or Tchaikovsky, this is about people who keep a cleptocratic system running by being an integral part of it while filling their pockets with obscene amounts of money while most of Russians live in poverty.

This is not about Russian-owned/Russian-related companies or Tchaikovsky, this is about people who keep a cleptocratic system running by being an integral part of it while filling their pockets with obscene amounts of money while most of Russians live in poverty. So are you claiming that the owners of Philips are an integral part of the Putin regime? If so, I would like to see some evidence to back that up.
I claim that they are part of a cleptocratic system that they profit off and thereby uphold. I don’t think you can acquire that much wealth in Russia without your hands in the state’s pockets (and also Putin’s blessing -even if implicit). There is a reason we speak of oligarchs and not “just” billionaires. The “Leonids” own the largest luxury retailer in Russia, you couldn’t have built that kind of empire without some “arrangements”. There is also information online that hints to corruption but I guess you could only call it that if there was a functioning, non-corrupt judiciary in Russia.
The Leonids are not on the sanctions list so whether Philipps should be boycotted, I am not sure. They have condemned the war and taken measures to help Ukraine. Though it’s easy to cop out once the suitcases are filled. It doesn’t however absolve them of the criticism of how they acquired their wealth in the first place. The point I am trying to make is that they should not be put in the same category as ordinary Russians that are being discriminated against.

Sorry, but what you are saying simply doesn't have any logic to it. If the owners of Philips are in the pockets of Putin then why are they speaking out against the war in Ukraine and have even made large donations to Ukrainian charities? I think we can safely assume that that is NOT something that Putin is encouraging or even happy about. So yes, the owners of Phillips are being persecuted because they are Russians; not because they are funding Putin's regime (which they are not).
You are incorrectly rephrasing what I said. I said that they were and still are profiting off the corrupt system in Russia that Putin designed. I also said that I don’t believe they could have built the empire they built without certain arrangements (corruption, Putin’s consent etc). Now the world is starting to look at people that got obscenely rich after the dissolution of the USSR. So for those that think they can (that have most or enough of their assets outside of Russia and maybe not matter enough to be in fear for their lives) it’s not a genius move to now distance oneself from the war and Putin in order to not lose business everywhere except in Russia.
Considering also how art lends itself to laundering money I can see why this is an especially sensitive area.
