The Asia
Contemporary Art Show, now in its 7th edition, is an annual exhibition held in
Hong Kong. It showcases artworks by talented Asian artists and recognized
international favorites.
This year
2,000 artworks by 300 artists are up for sale. The works are split into four
main categories: paintings, sculpture, photography and limited edition works.
The show includes
artworks by new artists, such as Hong-Kong based artists Bobo Po and Martin
Lever, and Chinese artist Lin Yun.
More predictable
are how works by established artists on the scene will perform. Saunderson
expects paintings by Chinese artists Du Haijun and Hong Haochang to do well, as
both have international profiles. A selection of their works will be priced at
$9000 to $50,000 dollars.
Artist
Zhang Xiaogang has an established international fanbase. Some of his works have
previously sold for over $10 million dollars. His work "Big family number
1," appears at Sotheby's Auction House in London.
The Asia
Contemporary Art Show will be on view October 8-11 at The Conrad hotel in Hong
Kong. Saunderson curates a selection of highlights from the show in the gallery
above.
