Hong Kong artists at Sotheby's auction

This past Spring auction of contemporary Asian art at Sotheby's was the very first time that an auction house had a series dedicated specifically to Hong Kong artists.

From Art Radar Asia:

"The artworks are concerned with significant historical Hong Kong events including the 1997 Handover of the British colony to China, the 2003 SARS epidemic and the annual July 1st protests as well as the experience of living in Hong Kong’s cramped urban cityscape.

All of the lots were sold at estimate or more. Kum Chi Keung, Kevin Fung and the Kowloon Emperor achieved sale prices which were double or several multiples of the estimate."
