Eric Chang
International Director - Asian Contemporary Art
Hong Kong
Eric Chang directs contemporary Asian art sales worldwide at a time of growing collecting interest as demonstrated by the notable success of Christie's spring 2006 sales in Hong Kong. He has been instrumental in this category's tremendous market growth since he joined Christie's Hong Kong in 2000 as department head of 20th Century Chinese Paintings. Today, he oversees all contemporary Asian art auctions in the region and, working closely with Christie's international contemporary art specialists, is seeking to broaden the market of Asian contemporary art by its inclusion in Christie's major Post-War and Contemporary Art sales in New York and London.
With more than thirteen years of working experience in the domain of Chinese contemporary art, Eric has made unrivalled contributions to the development of Christie's 20th Century Chinese and contemporary Asian art market. Under his leadership, Christie's 20th Century Chinese Art sales have generated enormous interest from buyers and collectors around the world.
Eric's many remarkable achievements include the record-breaking sales of 20th Century Chinese Art and Asian Contemporary Art and The Inception of A New Era—The Yageo Foundation Collection in Hong Kong, which achieved the highest total ever in the history of 20th Century Chinese Art (2005).
