> PRESS RELEASE

DETAILS

Sotheby’s Hong Kong is honoured to present the first single-owner auction of contemporary ink art. Assembled with pioneering vision, the Origo Collection presents the diverse and vibrant potential of the genre. Sometimes monumental in scale and intellectually daring in approach, the works of the Origo Collection represent more than three decades of artistic innovation, capturing the full range and evolution of styles of ink art practices from the late 20th century through the present. 

The auction comprises over 80 lots, including significant works by Gao Xingjian, Gu Wenda, Li Huayi, Li Jin, Liu Dan, Liu Guosong, Qiu Deshu, Wang Dongling, Xu Bing, Xu Lei, Zeng Xiaojun and Zhang Yu.  The trailblazing vision of the Origo Collection encompasses the varied and expressive artistic styles that contemporary artists have taken the classic ink medium in the modern era. The artists in the Origo Collection take the classic ink medium in expansive and exhilarating directions, and the auction offers a rare and exciting opportunity for both collectors familiar with the field of contemporary Chinese ink and those newly introduced to this vibrant medium.
