Sotheby’s day sale of Southeast Asian art was a surprising success at 63m HKD. The bulk of the top ten lots were sold substantial multiples of their high estimates suggesting the market has a great deal of un-anticipated demand. At 63m, the sale was equal the Fine Chinese Painting sale that took place in the same cycle.
