Eric Chang, Deputy Chairman, International Director of Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art, commented: “For the four sales that took place over the weekend we’ve seen continued strong appetite across all categories and regions, especially in Asian abstract and Southeast Asian Art, with more than 20 new artist records. The sales have grown to become a converging platform for both new and established artists from different categories of Asian 20th century and contemporary art. There was intense bidding not only for works by masters such as Sanyu, Park Seo-Bo and Cheong Soo Ping; but we also saw keen interest for a range of young and emerging artists, especially from China and Japan.”
