Hong Kong auction house puts pieces by Basquiat, Kusama up for sale

Since art has the ability to cure the spirit, Poly Auction Hong Kong will mark its 10th anniversary by hosting its inaugural Modern and Contemporary Art Evening Sale and Day Sale between July 12 and 13 at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

Featuring over 150 art pieces valued at over HKD300 million (1.3 billion baht), collectors will have the opportunity to acquire masterpieces by legendary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Wayne Thiebaud, Adrian Ghenie, Wu Guanzhong, Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh-Chun, Yayoi Kusama and Yoshitomo Nara.

"Over the past decade, we have stood side-by-side with the Asian art market and have seen steady growth in performance. With the special occasion of 10th Anniversary Auctions, the sales will offer an array of 20th to 21st century works from east to west, to further interpret the time transcending connotations in the crux of the modern and contemporary art scene, ushering Poly Auction Hong Kong into a new era," said Jamie Yu, head of Modern and Contemporary Art Department at Poly Auction Hong Kong.
