Contemporary Asian Art

Overview

The radical transformation of Asia in recent years and the economic development of the region have brought the eyes of the world to its emerging markets. With these broader economic trends as its base of support, Contemporary Asian art is rapidly emerging as one of the most dynamic sectors on the international art market and we offer works from a diverse range of artists, including those from China, Japan, Korea and India.

Since the autumn of 2008, Sotheby’s has consolidated its Contemporary Asian Art auctions to Hong Kong as a response to the fact that Hong Kong possesses the strongest concentration of Asian bidders and consignors out of all of Sotheby’s international sales locations. With this move, Sotheby’s achieves its strategy of ’sourcing globally and selling centrally’ within the expanding and increasingly important field of Contemporary Asian art.
