Led by Exceptional Single-Owner Sales Across Categories Reinforcing Christie’s as the Auction House of Reference for Prestigious Collections Globally

Christie’s is delighted to announce that its inaugural Hong Kong Asian art sale series at the new Asia Pacific headquarters in The Henderson, which included “The Au Bak Ling Collection: The Inaugural Sale” in September 2024 and six live auctions in November 2024 during the inaugural Asian Art Week, achieved a combined sale total of HK$846,424,360 / US$109,313,589. This remarkable result was led by exceptional single-owner collections across Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art and Chinese Paintings categories, from the classical to the modern era, including Chinese ceramics, archaic jades, and Chinese classical furniture – reinforcing Christie’s as the auction house of reference for prestigious Asian art collections worldwide. The packed saleroom and online platforms witnessed spirited engagement from collectors driven by new and younger buyers, reflected by a 20% increase in new buyers, and a 29% increase in Millennial buyers across seven live auctions.
