Brushwork II – All The World’s a Stage

In April 2016, Sotheby’s Hong Kong’s curated white-glove sale BRUSHWORK – FROM ASIA TO THE WORLD presented a universal calligraphic aesthetic found in post-war abstraction. Its sequel BRUSHWORK II – ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE celebrates the newly globalized and interconnected post-war arena where artists painted for the world – not just for local audiences. In their cross-cultural search for a common international language on the global “stage” of abstraction, artists turned to performance, process, and dynamic synthesis of East and West.
