Sotheby’s is delighted to present a unique auction in partnership with Hong Kong Contemporary Art Foundation (HOCA). The auction will raise funds for HOCA’s future exhibitions, events and educational programmes and will feature 32 works generously donated by 29 international artists. Building on the growing global popularity of street art, there will be a selection of works varying in style and media, featuring established artists including Invader, Vhils, Shepard Fairey and José Parlá.
HOCA’s goal is to bring art to Hong Kong beyond the confines of a gallery, by curating contemporary art exhibitions and events across the city. A portion of the proceeds of this sale will go towards the funding of the foundation's two upcoming exhibitions, as well as its ongoing programme of film screenings, lectures and public art events.
