Just before the start of the multi-billion dollar auction bonanza in New York this month, the top lots of April 2022 were mostly achieved at Sotheby’s Hong Kong sales, which set records despite market uncertainty. The modern and contemporary auctions brought in a respectable $164.2 million, within the expected range, with a number of lots exceeding the HK$100 million litmus test.
A portrait of Dora Maar by Pablo Picasso—the first painting of Maar to be offered in Asia—was among the star lots, surpassing its presale estimate to bring in HK$169.4 million to become the second most expensive Picasso work sold in Asia., a nearly seven-foot-tall, wall-mounted work that boasts a nearly 80-inch wingspan. Meant to whet the appetite for Western art in Asia, the sculpture sold for HK$129.
