KOLKATA: Christie’s Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art department is presenting the inaugural Asia+auction, which will take place 5 April in Hong Kong. Focusing on originality, versatility, and collectability, Asia+ will offer a highly curated selection of over 50 works of art that will appeal to the tastes of both seasoned connoisseurs and younger collectors alike.

Works such as Zao Wou-ki’s untitled ceramic study for the mural in the Garo de Oriente metro station in Viuva Lamego, Lisbon (estimate: HK$650,000-850,000/US$83,300-109,000), and Zeng Fan-zhi’s work on paper, Sky (estimate: HK$500,000-700,000/US$64,100-89,700), were chosen for their original and exploratory nature, as well as their ability to represent the versatility of the artists.

In its diverse grouping of works from the 20th century, Chinese avant-garde and contemporary movements, Asia+ provides collectors with a comprehensive range of art historical discourses, creating a unique panoramic view of Asian art.
