Christie’s 40th Anniversary in Asia

  • Event location Hong Kong

Marking Christie’s 40th Anniversary in Asia, Asian Art Week returns to Hong Kong from 27 to 30 October, featuring a distinguished programme of sales spanning Chinese Paintings, Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, and Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art.

Two curated auctions for Christie’s Chinese Paintings, Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy and Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings, will feature exceptional works from significant private collections around the world and celebrated artists across centuries.

Among the highlights of Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, The Ai Lian Tang Collection – Gems of the Imperial Capital showcases an exquisite selection of 30 treasures across four major collecting categories, encompassing imperial porcelain, jade, lacquer and masterworks of Chinese craftsmanship. The Au Bak Ling Collection Volume III presents 40 exceptional masterpieces dating from the Song to Qing dynasties. Defined by their rarity, provenance, historical significance, and remarkable state of preservation, these works embody the discerning eye, scholarly depth, and visionary collecting legacy of Au Bak Ling.

Bringing together a selection of rare and fresh-to-market masterpieces and important single-owner collections, the Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art auction features works of remarkable quality and provenance, reflecting the growing appeal of the category among collectors across Asia and around the world.

With Christie’s global platform and seamless digital experience, collectors are invited to engage with the sales from anywhere in the world. Whether bidding, consigning, or watching the livestream, the season brings together a boundless celebration of inspiration and artistic excellence.
