S
otheby’s Hong Kong Modern Evening Auction presents the multifaceted, creative spirit of Asian, European, modern and post-war art. We are delighted to offer works from the distinguished collection of Sir Run Run Shaw, led by a breath-taking masterpiece by Chen Yi Fei alongside works by Cheong Soo Pieng and Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur. Auguste Rodin’s bronze of embracing lovers serves as a romantic complement to this season’s bevy of beauties, including Dora Maar immortalised in sublime portrait by Pablo Picasso, and featuring the muses who have inspired modern masters Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mai Trung Thu, Le Pho, Hendra Gunawan. They will be joined by a monumental diptych of Chu Teh-Chun, plus works by Asian masters of abstract Zao Wou-Ki, Lalan, Hsiao Chin, Chen Wen His, and Ahmad Sadali, with remarkable highlights by Georges Mathieu and Fernando Zóbel. A landscape by Wu Guanzhong showcases his painterly bravura as he shifts between Impressionism, Modernism, and the Eastern painting and calligraphy tradition, a reinvention of the genre and a masterpiece that rounds out what looks to be the strongest ensemble of this season.
