The South China Morning Post has previously said that Liu Yiqian and Wang Wei have spend half of their wealth on art. In this latest piece on the couple, the paper says they’re committed to buying more Western art even as they continue to acquire pieces of China’s own heritage:

“The world is globalised … our collection is mainly Chinese traditional works of art, [but] we are going to expand into Western and Asian works,” he said, during a recent interview at Christie’s regional headquarters in Hong Kong. “I hope in my life time I can collect more from both China and the West.”
