Solid Results for Sotheby's in HK

April 5, 2009 by Marion Maneker

The Fine Chinese Paintings sale brought in $16.6 million for Sotheby’s in Hong Kong today. Southeast Asian Contemporary art continued its strong showing with a $3.6 million sale let by Masriadi, one of whose works sold for double the high estimate. The prices in this sale are at a much lower level with the top lots selling in $200,000 range. But the strategy made sense, the sell-through rate for the sale was a confidence building 76%.
