Christie’s To Set Record-Sales At Autumn Art Auction

Here comes autumn and auction houses are bombarded with an array of old-aged, contemporary artwork that is eternal in nature. A hoard of Asian art, Chinese jade and porcelain is set to go under hammer at Christie’s auction house on 28 October in Hong Kong.

The international auction house is anticipating it to be the record-breaking auction in this voracious market. The Sales generation expected out of this auction is net $231 million. The items would be on display from 25-29 November and would feature gamut of top-notch modern and contemporary art, regal ceramic, a renowned compilation of Chinese jades as well as jewels, necklaces and watches.

On pictures there are artworks that are inviting eyeballs:
A rare Beijing enamel glass brushpot adorned with European “mother and child” pictures from the Qianlong period on the four-sides is expected to generate $3.8 million; a blue and white “Boys” Ming jar that would generate nearly $5 million; a huge bronze sculpture of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy that is expected to be sold for $4.5 million; “Danshui at Sunset,” a calm Taiwan port oil painting by Chen Cheng-Po might earn the label of being the most expensive Chinese paintings ever sold at an auction.
