The Autumn auctions will comprise 12 sales covering six major categories, offering some of the rarest and most exceptional works in Chinese paintings, Chinese ceramics and works of art, Asian 20 th century and contemporary art, as well as rare luxury collectibles such as wine , jewellery and watches. As the art market remains stro ng in Asia and the appetite for collectin g continues to grow, Christie’s Hong Kong – in its 25 th year – leads the market with the best works at reasonable estimates that will appeal to both seasoned and new collectors alike. Of particular note this season is the integration of Southeast Asian art into the Asian 20 th century & contemporary art sale. Previously sold in a separate category, Southeast Asian modern and contemporary art will enjoy a new level of international exposure when placed alongside the art from China, India, Japan and Korea. This integration – a first for any international auction house – completes the consolidation of contemporary and modern art from different parts of Asia to create a wider pan-Asian category that is a parallel to its Western counterpart.
