Poly Auction Hong Kong Spring Auctions 2026 concluded on a high note

Poly Auction Hong Kong's Spring 2026 season concluded with a total of HKD 255 million in sales, representing a 23% increase over the previous autumn cycle. The auction was headlined by Liu Wei’s 1995 painting "You Like Pork?", which fetched HKD 27.6 million, followed by a Ming Dynasty 'Grapes' foliate-rim dish that sold for HKD 24.6 million. The event saw participation from collectors across 17 countries, with significant growth in the Modern and Contemporary Art and Jewels and Watches sectors.

These results signal a robust recovery and solid momentum for the Hong Kong art market, particularly for blue-chip Chinese contemporary art and imperial ceramics. The high percentage of lots selling above their estimates—including a Song Dynasty vase that exceeded its low estimate by eight times—suggests deep market liquidity and a renewed competitive appetite among international collectors for rare, provenance-backed Asian masterworks.
