O ur most recent sales of Modern Asian art, 2–3 April 2017, confirmed Hong Kong’s position as an anchor of the global art market. New buyers entered into fierce competition with established collectors, while global participation and online engagement increased, demonstrating that collecting habits now often transcend cultural and geographical boundaries.
Sellers of Modern Asian art – who, in our evening sale, saw their works sold alongside important Western Contemporary art for the first time – profited from Sotheby's ability to attract a growing international clientele to our salerooms.
Below we outline in detail the outstanding results achieved, driven by the dedication and expertise of our specialist team, and their ability to expertly curate sales to capitalise on current demand:
In an already buoyant Asian art market, the important developments that drove success in April have set strong precedents for further exceptional results this autumn.
