Further to the success of Seoul Auction’s Hong Kong sale in October 2010 – in which Marc Chagall’s Bestiaire et Musique set a record as the most expensive painting by a Western Modern artist ever sold in Asia – Seoul Auction is delighted to announce its forthcoming Hong Kong sale to take place on 29 November at the Himalayan Suite, Pacific Place Conference Centre.
Seoul Auction will also hold a special private sales exhibition of Impressionists & Modern Masters in Greater China (Taipei, Beijing, Hong Kong) and Seoul in November, featuring an array of major works by some of the most important masters of the late 19th and early 20th century including Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso.
The jewel of this special exhibition is Renoir’s Baigneuse s’arrangeant les cheveux painted circa 1890.
Misung Shim, Managing Director of Seoul Auction Hong Kong Ltd. said, “We are delighted to hold a second auction this autumn in Hong Kong, as well as a special exhibition of amazing works by Impressionists and Modern Masters. This exhibition again underlines the vision and pioneering spirit of Seoul Auction which is proud to have been the first auction house to offer Western art at auction in Hong Kong.”
“Recently, there has been a re-ascendance of works by 19th and 20th Century masters, in both Chinese and Western art. At the same time, we are witnessing a growing interest in, and a greater level of appreciation of, Impressionism and Modern Art. Seoul Auction is ready to adapt to evolving trends in the fast-changing art market in order to serve the desires of our clients in Asia and worldwide. In conjunction, we are also privileged to offer in our Hong Kong sale a diversified array of delightful works by young, talented Korean artists imbued with unique artistic concepts and creativity, alongside exceptional works by established Chinese, Japanese and Korean artists. ”
