Hong Kong’s Evening Sales of Modern and Contemporary art defy the impact of Covid-19 with an increase of 1.1% from 2019
Hong Kong’s evening sales of Modern and Contemporary art this season raised a total of HK$2.059 billion against the total estimate of HK$1.69 billion to HK$2.30 billion. This was 1.1% higher than the total sales last Spring, and continues the positive trend established. Despite the Covid-19 crisis paralysing a large part of the global art market, recent auctions demonstrate confidence in the top-end of the market, and the increasingly important role of Asian collectors.
