Fine Art Asia 2010
Rare Himalayan bronzes, Chinese ceramics and works of art, furniture, textiles and jades will be featured in the Antiques section; while this year the Art section has expanded to showcase an exceptional selection of art from the 17th century to the present day. Highlights include important Old Master Paintings, and outstanding Modern & Contemporary works of art by celebrated artists including Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Joan Mir贸 , Emile-Antoine Bourdelle, Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.
A highlight of FINE ART ASIA 2010 is Herakles the Archer, an exceedingly rare and seminal piece by the master Emile-Antoine Bourdelle valued at HK$70 Million(鈧7 Million). Emile-Antoine Bourdelle was a pioneer of 20th century monumental sculpture. His work combines traditional ideas of representational form with modernistic forces of abstraction and expressionism. Herakles the Archer is an excellent example. This is the first time Bourdelle鈥檚 work has been exhibited in Hong Kong. Other casts of Herakles the Archer are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Mus茅e d鈥橭rsay (Paris) and other museums. This may be the last one in private hands.
Andy Hei, Founder and Director of FINE ART ASIA 2010, said: 鈥淔INE ART ASIA 2010 is the only fair in Asia where the link between tradition and modernity, East and West, can be seen and appreciated under one roof.
鈥淭he fair acts as a bridge between East and West, bringing together an amazing range of artworks, from Antiques to Old Masters, Modern and Contemporary Art, exhibited by leading galleries from all over the world. 鈥
鈥淭his year, we have witnessed further signs of strength in the Asian art market. I am confident that Hong Kong will continue to grow as the hub of art business in Asia and play a vital role in the global art scene.
This will be the 6th edition of the fair. The high reputation which the fair has earned since its foundation in 2006, ensures that it coincides with Sotheby鈥檚 Autumn Auctions in the same venue. Early October is the peak art season in Hong Kong, attracting major international dealers and collectors from around the world.
