Christie's Hong Kong Autumn auctions held until November 30, 2011 realized a combined total of HK$2.85 billion (US$366 million) across 12 sales of paintings, wine, jewels, watches and works of art.
These results brought the season total for Christie's Asia to HK$3.025 billion (US$389 million) and the 2011 full year results to HK$7.04 billion (US$904 million), including the Forever sales in Beijing as well as mid-season wine sales.
"Led by Asian contemporary and 20 th Century art, jewellery and watches, Chinese classical and modern paintings and calligraphy, as well as Chinese works of art and wine, our 50th sale season in Hong Kong saw great participation from Asia (87%), with 73% of the buyers coming from Greater China. Sixty-nine works of art sold for more than US$1 million, the same number as in 2010. Strong prices were obtained for works by Zao Wou-Ki (b. 1920), Cui Ruzhuo (b. 1944), as well as diamonds, 19th century watches made for the Chinese market, and Qing ceramics. The market is price-aware and hungry for well-curated sales offering the best works of art, appropriately estimated," said François Curiel, President of Christie's Asia.
