Sotheby’s Hong Kong Modern and Contemporary Art Evening Sale
Hong Kong, March 2017 – Sotheby's #hongkong Modern and #contemporaryart Evening Sale will be held on 2 April at the #hongkong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Besides the familiar categories of Modern Asian Art, Contemporary Asian Art and Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art, the auction will present, for the first time, significant Western Contemporary works by internationally-renowned artists such as Andy Warhol,Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst and Adrian Ghenie, together with works by other in-demand Asian artists including Lin Fengmian, Zao Wou-ki, Zhang Xiaogang, Liu Ye,Kusama Yayoi, Le Pho and Affandi. The evening sale offering over 50 lots is estimated in excess of HK$460million/ US$60million.
Amy Cappellazzo, Chairman, Sotheby's Fine Arts Division commented: "It has been exciting to witness the ever-increasing enthusiasm for Western #contemporaryart among collectors in #asia. After the 29% increase in the number of Asian bidders in our major Contemporary sales last year, as well as the strength of Asian editions of fairs like Art Basel, it was logical to add Western #contemporaryart into our #hongkong evening sale this spring. We are looking forward to showcasing many of the great U.S. and European artists alongside outstanding Asian works this April."
Patti Wong, Chairman of Sotheby's Asia, commented: "The success of the Western #contemporaryart in last October's TTTOP sale, along with Asian buyers' increased activity in our most recent auctions in New York and London have encouraged us to include Western works in our evening sale for the first time. Sotheby's is delighted to offer eight significant works by both Contemporary masters, including Warhol's magnificent Mao, as well as younger artists from the Western Contemporary world."
