Patrons of Asia Art Archive reveal their favourite picks from the charity's upcoming fundraising auction
It's hard to believe that it has been 20 years since Asia Art Archive (AAA) first came on the scene. This year, for AAA's milestone anniversary, more than 30 works donated by artists, collectors and galleries will go under the hammer during the organisation's highly anticipated annual fundraiser. Pieces by Yayoi Kusama, Stanley Wong, Luis Chan, Lalan, Irene Chou and more are up for grabs, and all proceeds will go directly towards supporting AAA’s mission to fund education and research into contemporary art in Asia.
"For the last 20 years the AAA has been committed to a more generous art history through the documentation, creation and sharing of knowledge on the history of contemporary art from Asia. We are incredibly grateful to all the artists, galleries and sponsors who are so generously supporting the AAA's annual fundraiser this year," says co-founder and executive director, Claire Hsu-Vuchot.
All of the pieces featured in the auction are being showcased in a preview exhibition at Christie's from October 13 to 16. The same day that show opens, art lovers can begin bidding for the works on AAA's online platform. An invite-only dinner and live auction will then take place on October 30.
Ahead of those events, AAA patrons Jonathan Cheung, William Lim and Tiffany Soong have selected their favourite pieces on the block this year. See and read about their must-have pieces below.
