Whether you’re in the market for a museum-worthy piece of contemporary Chinese art, a 91.95-carat Burmese “royal blue” (not hot) necklace, a Hermès handbag or just a jolly good gawp, Poly Auction Hong Kong’s start of spring looks set to be astounding.
The 2012-founded auction house has announced more than 2,400 lots that will go under the hammer at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong on Tuesday, April 7.
The extravagant pieces, which have an estimated pre-sale value of HKD800 million, span seven categories, namely: Chinese and Asian modern and contemporary art; Chinese contemporary ink paintings; fine modern Chinese paintings and calligraphy; classical Chinese paintings and calligraphy; Chinese ceramics and works of art; jewels and watches; and Chinese and Western wine.
Realistically, not many of us are going to make the highest offer on any of these items, but it’ll no doubt be fascinating browsing the Aladdin’s cave (previews are being held on April 4 and 6), and endless fun scratching your nose during the bidding to confuse the auctioneer.
What: Poly Auction Hong Kong 2015 Spring Auctions
When: Previews Saturday/Sunday April 4 & 5, auction April 7
Where: Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai
