| Keith Haring －Untitled photo from Sotheby's |
“Continuing the great momentum from the previous sale in January, last night we welcomed a group of enthusiastic collectors who embraced the Boundless concept by competing intensely for the diverse range of Western and Asian art on offer, driving nearly 60% of the lots to sell above high estimate. The strong market interest for works by prominent Western artists continues. Works by Keith Haring performed exceptionally well, among which Untitled (1983) became the top lot of the sale achieving HK$4.16 million / US$533,000, four times its pre-sale estimate; while Dog (1986) attracted fierce competition from 10 bidders, fetching HK$3.2 million / US$410,000, almost six times the pre-sale estimate. Works by Asian artists such as Yayoi Kusama were highly sought after, as were many of the design pieces, among which the specially- curated designer lamps section was 100% sold. With the strong results achieved last night, we look forward to bringing more iconic modern and contemporary art pieces – both Western and Asian – to discerning collectors in the region who wish to infuse art into the everyday life.”
