The Making of an Asian Art Auction | Christie's

Ahead of our Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale on 5 November 2019, we offer a glimpse into the making of an Asian art auction, from gathering and appraising magnificent works of art, to exhibiting, handling and selling them.
‘There is almost no other place like London when it comes to Asian art,’ says Christie’s specialist Kate Hunt. A long-standing ‘centre of expertise’ for the category, the city continues to attract Chinese and Asian buyers who are are primarily focussed, Hunt says, on acquiring ‘imperial works of art that found their way out of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries’.
In May 2019, Asian Art Week at Christie’s London showed exactly what Hunt is talking about, totalling almost £11.9 million. The top lot, an extremely rare imperial ‘nine-dragon’ lacquer throne from the Qianlong period (1736-1795), sold for £6,108,250, more than five times its high estimate.
In our video, Christie’s Asian art specialists and collectors, as well as industry experts explain the stages of the auction cycle, from gathering and appraising exceptional artworks, to exhibiting and handling them before they come to auction.
