NEW YORK, NY., –Many of the works presented as part of Christie’s Fall Asian Art Week in New York had great provenance. Evidently, this is one of the reasons art collectors and lovers of Asian art vigorously contested against one another to win these priced jewels. The other reason is that these works by Indian and Southeast Asian Artists are high in aesthetics. They came from the hands and minds of skilled crafters. The bidding war amongst art collectors for South Asian Modern and Contemporary Art led to unprecedented auction prices. The auction result shows a renewed interest in Asian Art. Here are the top ten lots at the Christie’s Asia Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art auction in New York. All sold prices include buyer’s premium.
