A N T I C I PAT I O N BUILDING UP TO
ASIA WEEK By Kati Vereshaka | Epoch Times Staff
s Asia Week New York 2016 (AWNY) begins, dealers, buyers, and Asian art lovers have started converging on New York where Asian works of art spanning millennia will be shown and bought. Last year, during the seventh AWNY, sales reached an unprecedented total of $360 million. This year, from March 10 to 19, four auction houses are holding numerous sales that continue to attract an international audience in terms of both consignment and buyers. Christie’s, Sotheby’s, Bonhams, and Doyle are holding their sales during Asia Week, while iGavel is holding a viewing of its exhibition Asian, Ancient, and Ethnographic Works of Art with the online auction to follow—March 29–April 19.

The lineup from Christie’s during Asia Week comprises eight sales, and features the Dongxi Studio, the Collection of Guy and MarieHélène Weill, the Ian and Susan Wilson Collection, the Lahiri Collection, and Part II of the Ruth and Carl Barron Collection.
